Makavel:

You are correct that the pre-programed Easy Dial numbers (like checking your balance) do not work when the phone is in U.S. mode. So you just dial 187 or 191 and send it and it works fine. You do not need the *126* prefix dialing code. In fact when the phone is in U.S.mode here in the U.S. the call back system is not needed. Calls just go straight through. So I assume the *126* with easy codes is used to trigger a call back when you are in Global mode.

Did you also notice the feature to warn you if you are in the wrong calling mode? If you are in the U.S. and turn on the phone in "Global" mode, and then make a call, you get a warning and the call is temporarily blocked. This prevents you from inadvertently making a more expensive call.
