Thanks for your reply. Yes I have a 'talk & text' plan that says T-Zones 1mb included. I was able to surf the web with my Sony T68i previously (that's where I got my SIM from), so I would think I should be able to access the internet even now. I've googled for this error message but don't seem to find any hits other than when Texian mentioned the same error in this thread. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Jawad
