strange bug in new phone

Hi,

I'm having a strange bug in my new iphone. I recently upgraded to an iphone from an older model of phone and had my contacts transferred to the new phone by the sales rep at the store. I dont know how the process worked exactly, but im guessing it has something to do with the sims cards or something like that. anyway, ive ad my phone for a day and it has been working fine up until an hour ago. suddenly, i am able to make and receive text messages from my new phone, but i can only make and receive calls from my old phone. i was told that once my service was activated with my new phone, that the old one would just have no more service. that was the case until about an hour ago. now i can text from my new phone, but can only make phone calls from the old one. anyone ever hear of this happening? please help. thanks ahead of time.

sincerely,

joe

Did you port a line over from a different carrier? Verizon wouldn't use the simcard from an old device in your new iPhone 4s (the only iPhone that Verizon carries that uses a sim card...I assume that is what you have even though you posted in the iPhone 4 forum). You need to contact VZW for further assistance...this doesn't sound like a bug with the phone but an issue with the account.

is the previous phone on verizon? if so its probably activated, if I were you, I'd go on settings on that old phone and do a hard reset and that should deactivate that phone, then restart your new iPhone, plug it in to iTunes to make sure its activated properly and it should work just fine.
