Happy with your purchase?

I'll be happy when my 3g service starts working. right now all I can get is 1x

By any chance did you activate your phone using *228? Apparently, this will cause the sim card to do 1x vs. 3G or 4G. No one at the store knew how to fix it. Instead, siomeone else on this forum recommended to install the sim card and let it autoactivate. I don't remember the link, but I'm sure you can sure for it.

*228 doesn't do anything for tb's(call is immediately ended). I did a hard re-set on my phone and now the 3g works pretty good. it just seems to have a little worse reception than the incredible I had been using
