Hi beatrizguiselle, yugasini is a bit upset I guess so he didnt complete his quesiton. The question here is have you ever faced a similar problem with any of your gadgets. Well, Indian government has banned usage of cells without those numbers. The reason is it makes it easier for terrorists to communicate. Since those cells are available at quite affordable prices, and are attractive as well, many people have bought them, and have been using them. Now, suddenly, after so many years, this ban has come. It will be inconvenient for a while, no doubt. But in the long run, it will help to control terrorism and other activities. Wish the government had thought of such things before they hit the market. :( Anyway, have you ever had similar problems, giving your number/s to many people, and eventually you have to go around changing telephone numbers? That is the question. :)

Government, when it makes rules for everyone, seems to cost us a lot of extra money and causes us to make changes that would not otherwise be necessary.
Last year, all in the US had to buy new digital tv's or a special box, as the govt. ordered. It was an expense many could not easily meet, even though the govt. gave an extended grace period. But most of us have it resolved now.

Good luck on getting your cell phone up and working. Nothingis more anoying then having something like that and not being able to use it. I'm glad that with T-mobile that's not an issue. In my opinion you should stick with name brands that you know will work for you. Its not worth it to to be putting so much money into something to not have it work.
