Can you "turn off" one SIM/phone number? For example, when I travel overseas I can turn off my US phone number so I don't get roaming charges?

Yes you can, each SIM is configured seperatly, so you can chose which to run what.Hope this helped

Yes, in the settings you have the option to turn off either SIM cards at any time. You can also choose which card is your default one and which one has 3G enabled (only one can at any given time).

Yes I use a regular sim. Works where ever I travel to and can change to accommodate one from any country.

Hello Luis,Well, don't loose your time with this BS, it doesn't work at all! I travel abroad a lot and I often have to switch SIM cards (local SIM and my country SIM) and I wanted to buy it to avoid switching all the time. The problem is both SIM cards must have the same GSM standard to work properly. In my recent case for example, the GSM standard in the US is different of my country (Brazil) so I wasn't able to use both at the same time. If you plan for the same situation, run away of this BS! On the other hand if you want to use only in your country, you can try but again it is a matter of lucky. Take care!

Yes. Menu then initial settings, select button . Scroll down to talking caller ID and press select button and then you can turn off the handset and/or base unit.by selecting the hand set or base unit and turn it off. Hope this helps.

I think they charge for international calls, but I don't really know how that works. since yo can't get customer assistance, I don't see how you find out.

You will not need a sim card if you arent going over seas. But you can just go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for free.

There is not a way to turn off the 3G on the device, you can ask your service carrier if they can block it but there is no way to shut it off...

Yes they will assign a new number and they ask you what area code you will most be using the phone in. I've even changed my number, using an area code way off where I'm actually located just to mess with friend. Hope this helps. Happy Hollidays!!!!

I have this phone with T-Mobile in the USA, and I recently took it to England. I turned off the data, but it was working great for voice and texts.

inactivate? i just got this phone in the mail today (i selected 2 day shipping- for whatever reason, it was free of charge). Anyway, the instructions in the box told me to insert my old sim card into my new phone. After ordering the phone, my sim card was never affected. Something sounds wrong there- give Cingular a call. (btw- they also ship it with a new sim card, but i think it's just placed in the box as part of the default shipment in the event that the person purchasing the phone is a new customer). hope this helps!

I've used both numbers without moving any of the settings. But I haven't used them at the same time, when I want to change from one number to another, I turn off the cell phone, open the back, change the chips and turn it on again. Hope it helped.

Just call their one sim number and don't worry about where you are calling from.

If your service provider allows international call you should not have any problems. I used my phone to call the U.S. from the Republic of Panama but I am using a pre-paid sims.

Yes... no problem. If you use a texting app (like whatsapp), you can only use one number, not both. I use mine with an ATT sim and a Movistar sim for south america. Cheers.

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.

I activated mine in the USA. I don't see any point in using it in the USA as the calls would be very expensive. You might be able to send a text to test it out though if that's why you'd want to use it straight away.

If you do not want to receive any calls while on GPS mode, you can take out the SIM card before using GPS, so that you won't get any call:-) just kidding:-) coming to the point, to do this, you can change the profile to 'Offline' using 'settings>>personal>>profiles>>offline'. There is an easy to do the same, in your home screen, just tap around the place where date & time are displayed. This will bring up a pop up with all avilable profiles and you can select the one you want. In this way, I guess the phones receiver is turned off (not GPS receiver).
