cannot receive calls while using internet

i've searched all over the place to see if anyone has had similar problems, but haven't found anything. I open opera and when people call me it goes straight to voicemail. Is there anything I can do?

I'm in Hawaii, Alltel doesn't have service here so I'm using sprint towers. Would this have an impact?

Go to start>settings>phone>services>DDTM mode>get setings, and make sure its turned off. DDTM mode sends calls to VM while on an active data connection

If you are on a 1x connection, the call will go to voicemail if you are actively transmitting data.

ok thanks, i'm running on sprint towers and they only allow me 1x... can't wait for verizon towers to pick me up soon. anyone here use alltel know if verizon will allow us full usability of their network? i'm just remembering nextel users kinda got screwed with the tower situation when sprint took em over, just hoping the same think doesn't happen to me.
