Could you explain what the feature was?
So there is no problem with your SIM after all??

This is hardly the same. The idea I talked about would be to test the hardware

I know. I was just trying to chear you up with my very funny jokes. The one
above with Doug was ssooooo funny, don't you think? Actaully, it was just me typing

Maybe not. And regarding the Nova.... don't give up just yet.
