A good friend of mine just emailed me this:
I have a new Nokia C3 cell phone using Orange Dominicana service. It was ok the first night (15FEB11) to call area code 340 but now I cannot call the area code 340 which is the US Virgin Islands to either cell or landline. I can receive calls and receive/send text messages from 340. Starting on 16FEB11 I get a "Number not in use? error message when I try to make a voice call. I have another cell phone using VIVA (Dominican Republic) which does allow me to call 340. Orange does not help as they say it is a carrier problem. I have looked all over the internet but the only two solutions that were proposed is to put either + or 00 in front of the 1340xxxxxx but that does not work.
Any of you geeks out there know the "why" to this???
What to do? Take it back??? Throw it off the top of the Monument?
Stick it up the wazoo of the salesperson??? Answers please..
