Grashoper et al... believe it or not Bell helped me out with this one. I want to share it because it was an incredibly easy fix...

I had only called Bell because I was looking for the correct password (I obviously didn't want them to know that I had messed with the ROM and Radio).

In the process they suggested the following process to deregister and reregister on the network:

To use your terminology:

Hammer in ##MSL# <gets you to the "activation wizard">

Note your MDN and MSID
<they also told me that MSID is your cell number unless you have ported your number from another carrier as I have)

Change MDN and MSID to area code with 7 zeros after

Reboot and make a call (any call just so the network sees the phone - it won't work anyway)

Hammer in ##MSL#

Change MDN and MSID back to original settings and reboot...

and voila... back in business.

She said that we simply had to reregister the phone on the network...

HUH! that is very cool. yah know, i really think alot of times with tech support staff, (with any company) it really shows who knows their job better, which perhaps comes from years of service with company your working for. Once in a while you will get somebody who truly knows their job inside and out VS reading information off the computer screen. I'm almost tempted to run thru your steps, just to see if it will make any other improvements <wink> not that my blower isn't working well, now.. who knows, perhaps there are glitches that i don't even recognize as less than perfect.

ya know, reading my 'lingo' in somebody's else's sentence made me laugh.. The GF even came in the room to see what i was lafin at. Thanks!
Maybe it's the way we do it here on the East Coast and don't even realize it. chow for now...
