[Gta04-owner] GTA04 with QtMoko and new SIM card

Hi there,

I've just tried QtMoko v37 for the first time and wanted to report a
couple of observations.

First, I found that I could send one DTMF digit during a call, but no
more after that.  I have just received a new SIM card and was told that
I needed to call 150 to activate it, so I did that.  That number goes
through to an automated menu-driven system where you need to press keys
to select various options - and I found that my first key press was
recognised, but that no other key presses had any effect after that one.

Secondly, I tried calling _to_ the GTA04 from another phone.  The GTA04
reported the incoming call (#1), and I didn't answer it.  After a few
seconds, while the call was still ringing at the caller phone, the GTA04
indicated that that was a missed call, and that there was another new
incoming call (#2).  Then after a few more seconds, call #2 became
'missed' and the GTA04 indicated another incoming call (#3).  And again
with call #4.  Then I cancelled the call on the caller phone.  The GTA04
then stopped showing any incoming call, and just showed 4 missed calls.

(It might be relevant that I have recently lost my normal mobile phone
and so have been sent a replacement SIM card.  The packaging indicates
that this SIM has a PIN code (and tells me what it is), and I was also
told over the phone that I'd need to dial 150 to activate the SIM card
before it would work fully.  So possibly the SIM card could be behaving
strangely because of the activation process not having completed
properly yet - but that seems relatively unlikely to me.)

Regards,
       Neil
