Troubleshooting Check these questions first if you have problems with your phone. If you need additional help, contact the Motorola Customer Call Center at 1-800-331-6456 (USA) or 1-800-461-4575 (Canada).
Problem I cannot send/receive calls. Solution Make sure that you have a phone signal (the signal strength indicator should have at least 1 segment showing). Avoid electrical or radio interference, and obstructions such as bridges, parking garages, or tall buildings. Your phone also may have the Call Barring feature turned on. If you know the unlock code, you can change this setting in the security menu (M > Settings > Security). Also, check to be sure your SIM card is installed and working.
Problem When sending data with the data cable, why does the computer show a connection rate of 19200 Kbps? Solution 19200 Kbps is the data transfer rate of the connection between your computer and the phone in a standard Circuit Switch Data (CSD) connection. The rate of the connection between your phone and the network is displayed on your phone, and will be either 14400 or 9600 Kbps. Note: A GPRS connection may have a higher data transfer rate.
