    I was hoping you'd say that, as I also have an 840. <g>

    I've gone through every menu possible, and haven't been able to find
    anything related to "offline."

    It sounds like a browser message... Does it appear when you're trying
    to make phone calls, access Vision, or both?

    Just when trying to make phone calls (when it first powers on)... I no
    longer subscribe to Vision...

    Thanks,

    Just out of curiosity, what the "Airplane Mode" (Menu | Settings | Airplane
    Mode) set to?

    On my phone (I have one of the new Motorolas) it shuts the phone
    function off but allows access to things like the games and calendar.

    That's what I was getting at... While putting my 840 into Airplane Mode
    causes the display to read "Phone Off," I was thinking that a different
    software version might display "Offline Mode."

    Airplane Mode's turned off... And I have access to my contact list,
    games, calendar, etc., it just continously searches for a signal...

    Leebehr - how do you turn your phone function back on?

    Re: Offline Mode

    I also tried turning Airplane Mode on, and you're right - it says Phone
    Off at the top, but after turning Airplane Mode off, it reboots and
    defaults back to Offline Mode...

    It was worth a shot! <g>

    It certainly sounds like you'll be taking a road trip, down to your local
    Sprint store. If so, let us know what they find.

    Good Luck!

    Re: Offline Mode

    Under Other Settings I have a pulldown for Airplane mode. I just make
    sure it's off.
