You can't call or text if you are just using wifi. There has to be 3g/4g/evdo connectivity in order to make/receive calls/texts..

Ok you guys listen.... I'm connected to WiFi so I can use an alternate messaging system. Even when I'm not connected WiFi I can't vet calls or texts.

Ok SteveIncredible2, listen... Look in the upper right hand of the tool bar. Where it normally says 3G and has the service bars.. What does it look like? Is the 3G gone and there are no bars and an x? If so, turn the phone off and turn it back on.

Did that work? If not, go into settings and networks. Do you have cellular data off?

If so, turn it on.

Otherwise.. Try calling tech support?

Yes, there is no 3g, no bars, just an x with the WiFi off and with it on no matter where I go, even if it shows 3 bars if I attempt to make a call or send a text it does not connect or it fails, turning the phone off and on doesn't work, master reset doesn't work, I have no downloaded apps, and tech support sent me a new phone and I have the same problem. It's really irritating and I can't seem to find answers, even if my phone is in global or cdma mode it does this.
