The manual says that means "no incoming calls available" i suggest removing all restrictions as someone suggested earlier in the post.

I believe (masseur or some other higher form of intelligence, please back me up here), that our SE's will always get incoming calls (unless we restrict them). Even when we used fixed dialing, this only prevents the
outgoing calls, not the incoming ones. And if you automatically forward your calls, then you're gonna see a phone with an arrow, not a "Crossed Out Circle", as the guy was describing.
A "Crossed Out Circle" refers to a network problem (no signal, bad SIM, bad phone, etc.), and therefore, the user is unable to do anything to adjust the phone to remove this symbol.
Am I correct? Masseur?

I just told you exactly what the symbol he described means. Don't know where you got your one from?

rdnymllnsktr, unfortunately I have to disagree to a certain extent. I have had this symbol on my T630 just a couple of weekends ago while it had a german O2 sim card in it and I was in UK.
It was there for about 15 minutes and during that time I read the manual and found what bosshogg had to say to be correct. I tried calling the phone and it diverted to my voicemail so certainly no incoming calls could be recieved.
I experimented with putting my vodafone sim in and it worked fine but as soon as I put the german O2 sim back in the symbol reappeared.
I wasn't able to investigate further because the symbol then dissapeared of its own accord and incoming calls were again working.
The only thing I can add is that the German sim card is a prepaid one though I am not sure if thats significant.
I'll try and explorer more if it happens again or perhaps cytech knows exactly what this means?

i did read the post rdnymllnsktr. and what do you mean by wrong again? the phone with a red line through it means you cannot receive incoming calls. so it looks like you're the one that's wrong. why don't you read what i posted? it's a bug. the same thing happend to my t616 a few times and how do you think it was corrected... hmmmmmm... i wonder... could it have been that i just deactivated call fowarding even though it was never activated?

The symbol means that the phone "sees" other networks but is forbidden to log onto 'em. Simple.

I'm sorry but that's incorrect. That would give you not only an icon but also the text 'SMS calls only' something that infrequently occurred when I lost my T Mobile network.

@Vlamm: yes, that happens to u (and to me too sometimes) cuz the phone sees other national networks .Ok, so i should've reformulate that: the signs appears ussualy when u travel to another country with ur sim (as happened to Masseur). It happened to me when a traveled thru Europe with a french sim.I just observed the effect but i can't explain it technically.I don't know why i don't get "SOS calls only" for example, and that phone with a red line.
I have to enquire and get back to u with a technical reply

[edit] @701...... even when travelling abroad without roaming you'd still be able to call emergency services..... for example when i roamed in the US with a prepaid voda SIM from NL..... it wouldn't give me the 'striped out phone' icon...... but it didn't give me the 'SOS Calls only' text either
.... but I COULD dial 911 nonetheless

i got that symbol thosands of times on my phone...
called up sony ericsson support and they told me it was network related
gave my telco provider a call and they told me it was because the phone connects to the base station but the base station does not record it.
means although i get a full signal bar on my phone, im unable to receive calls.
but as soon as i make a call, the symbol disappears and the phone receives incoming calls happily.
i suspect its due to overloading of the base station
(my telco provider just bought over another telco recently)
this problem never occured before the takeover
but from what i see, you cannot even MAKE calls, which seems odd with regards to vlammetje's guide book scan. i suggest you give your telco provider a ring
