My wife and I both have Blackberry Pearl 8110's and after a trip to Australia last week she is now getting "Call Failed" whenever she tries to make a phone call.

- Data seems to be working perfectly (email is coming from the Vodafone BIS server)
- Pulled the battery and reseated the SIM card (several times)
- Called Vodafone and there is no barring on the number
- Have checked that it's on the Vodafone network

Any ideas?

A call Bar on a connection will not cause " call failed "

Might be a corrupt VLR profile PM me some details and I will check first thing tomorrow morning should be a easy fix.

Sorry - forgot that point.

Not receiving calls either. Don't even get voicemail prompt (call just drops).

Have you tried the same SIM in another handset?

Tried the SIM card in another phone (trialling a Vodafone 845 for work - quite a nice device).
Anyway, it made and received calls perfectly.

Swapped SIM card back into the Pearl and it WORKED.

Thankyou so much for the offer John - although in this case everything is resolved, it was nice to know that somebody was prepared to help 8-).

Kind Regards,

Nigel H.

PS Any idea why swapping the SIM between devices "fixed" things?
Did it reset a record somewhere (different IMEI/SIM combination)?
