That is strange. Here near Buffalo, NY, where we have never enjoyed the benefit of EVDO, my incoming calls ALWAYS rang through to me when i was online, ever since I got the phone in August 05. Whether using the phone on the internet OR as a modem, if a call came were made to my number, the phone would ring, and I would answer and talk. Now, in the last few weeks, the phone never rings when Im online anymore. The voice mail indicator will just announce itself. I THOUGHT this was now happening since my phone did a hard reset all on its own a few weeks ago. Since then, it has been acting very strange...but maybe it wasnt the phone!
