Default SOS for past couple days!

Hey guys,

So for the past couple days now, I've noticed that my Torch has jumped into SOS where obviously it becomes useless!
I try turning off the wireless network, waiting about 10sec and turning it back on, but it just fires back to SOS. The only thing that seems to resolve it (for a few hours) is to do a battery pull. It's fine for a while and then back to SOS again.
My wife has an older pearl 8130 and not experiencing any of this on BELL.

Anyone else notice this going on?? I'm missing important work emails due to the SOS and not even knowing it's switched to that. Any info??

Cheers guys.

OK so, to answer myself, I called BELL tech support and they found that I had a defective SIM card. He told me that there was a mass alert send out recently to all BELL service that SIM cards ending in 007 and 009 are the cause for having dropped calls, phones going in to SOS mode and so on.

Super happy, I took off today to my closest BELL store and they gave me my new SIM and everything has been working great!! So I thought I'd share with all you BELL users out there that this was and is an official problem with those specific SIM cards.

Cheers and hope it helps someone else in need as well.
