Hi I hope someone can help with my problem - yeh I know the problem is
GLOBALSTAR hahaha
Anyway I am not talking about Satellite reception
I have not used the R290 for about 12 months. Turned it on last week in Cell mode (GSM) will not work - all indicators on the screen tell me its ok but will not send or recieve calls
I put the SIM card from my Telstra phone into the R290 = all ok works fine
I put the SIM from
Globalstar into my Telstra phone = all works OK
So WHAT GIVES ???? HELP
I spoke to Pivotel who suggested I get a new SIM card - I have done that with one of their agents - still no go - Pivotel are sending me another card to try
Could itbe something to do with 2G or 3G or GSM900 ??

Axel - Thanks - so I assume you tried a SIM out of a working Telstra or Optus phone - must be your phone hardware -
mine is fine with a Telstra and Optus card
