Does anyone have any ideas? I sent a message to the Agents a few hours ago but nothing back yet. My last phone was lost, so the old SIM & IMEI number were barred. However, I now have a replacement phone from ebay & I have the reissued sim. I activated the new SIM yesterday. However I am unable to make calls with my new phone since it says 'calls barred'. The phone is a Dell Streak, as before (Android 2.2). It has credit & a goodybag. The exact message is : You cannot make outgoing calls while call barring is on. If I go into the call barring section in settings, I can't change the settings because it asks for a 3-character network password. Presumably this is because I asked for my old SIM / phone to be barred? I can't send messages / receive 3G data / etc either. I've set up the APNs according to the instructions.

You'll just have to wait for the agents to get back to you, as they'll need to remove the temporary bar that replacement sims have on them.

If someone has answered your question satisfactorily, please accept it as a solution

Don't forget to give kudos to those who you think deserve it, not because they're asking for it!

Before replying to a negative post, please have a read of this post by darrenpainter - it makes a lot of sense

Just wait for the agent's reply. Most replacement sims come with a bar on so just wait and it should get removed soon

Your account its still locked from when the previous sim was attached to it. you need an agents magic touch.
