Hello,

 

I was a foreign student studying in the USA

and i'm taking this semester off on grounds of ill health 

and then I'm in my home, Korea now...

 

when i was in USA,

I bought a droid phone last year.

 

 

I'm having a bit of trouble with my droid phone

 

last week,

I pushed the factory reset button by mistake and droid is reset.

after rebooting, 

 

droid is not activated. 

 

I can see the screen of "welcome page" first 

I touched a green andorid icon 

and then I touched the 'activate' button and finally touched 'speaker' button

 

droid calls the special call... but, it doesn't work.

I think that droid phone cannot call the special call because here is Korea!!

I don't use global roaming service.

 

 

so, can I activate my droid phone in any other way not the special call??

 

I often used to play many applications(games and so on...) be downloaded on wifi,

and used to surf the internet in my home and a coffee shop and the places can access internet.

 

but I can't do this now..

 

Give me the way to solve, please...

 

I appreciate your reading and i hope your response.

 

 

Best Regards

 

Thank you.

The Droid is not a global phone and will not work anywhere else but the United States on Verizon Wireless. If you're looking to use the Droid around the world, I suggest looking into the GSM version, better known as the "Milestone".

Try this.

The explanation is not clear - It says counter clockwise, but the direction is clockwise...  So you should try both.

And looks like you should do that everytime you fully turn it off and turn back on.

He is NOT trying to use it as a phone.  Just a personal device with only wifi connection (where available), which even deactivated phone can do.
