Outgoing calls work fine, however incoming calls don't work at all on either SIM profile on the Rogers network in Canada. According to eKit support it's a know problem and it should be fixed in the next week or so.

A real turnoff, at least for me, is that when the phone is unavailable or turned off, even with the voicemail disabled, the caller doesn't get the standard 'customer not available' message but is rather given an option to send a numeric SMS and is in turn charged for the failed call.

Thanks VladS,

ekit has since diagnosed the problem and it appeared to be the way in which the voice mail settings were configured. I understand this has been changed and VladS can now receive calls in Canada. This should only have affected VladS and no other ekit users. All ekit users can receive calls in the 130 countries where the service operates.
