This happens to me after switching the telefon mode from off to on. the phone itself needs some time until its "ready for use".

Another possible issue is one using a 3G sim card in a 2G phone. has happened to me with a prophet. Changed to an old sim card and it worked perfectly. Try changing the sim card to a known 2G and see what happens.

Just switched off the phone in the comm manager (it is an option available to facilitate the PDA usage during the flight journey).

Now my phone is fine and working.

Thanks,

Hi all......

Im a first time poster.....

I have an Imate Jasjam.....

I recently upgraded the ROM and ever since, i keep getting the phone not ready and no matter what i have read in these posts i cant get it to work.....

I have even gone as far as starting over from the original ROM and now the original ROM shows the same problem.

Its really annoying not beingn able to reply to msgs im getting and even worse, not being able to modify the setting in my phone to disable call forwarding to my voicemail.

I have the FCW Home HD ROM installed and have tried upgrading the radio, but fail everytime.... im guessin im using th ewrong one so if anyone knows an up to date radio i can install it would be good....

Please help !

I think you are posting in the ROM forum. Are you sure you have a Charmer cause I don't know the ROM you tell us.
