No Service, No Nothing??

[New Wave Vixen]

Ok, here's the deal.

This is my first ppc phone (Mogul) so I don't know if this is how it works with all of them...

The service on my phone was restriced because I added a new line and the first bill situation was a mess.

Point being, while it was restricted I could not access my calendar, contacts, and I could not bring up the phone part in anyway.

You know how on regular phones you could attempt to dial a number and it would just connect you to sprint....well there is no way for me to do that, so if I were somewhere with no other phone...i'd be screwed.

Also, I could send/receive text messages only if I knew the number by heart because, as I said before, I had no way to even look at my contacts.

So I guess my question would be...is this normal for ppc phones, or is it this one in particular?
