Here is a possible cause of the problem, I think it may be related to edge data. You know how when your surfing the internet on Edge, your phone calls and sms messages will not come in until the data transfer stops? I think maybe the phone thinks that edge is being used, hence blocking incoming phone/sms data.
I back this up because when you make an outgoing phonecall it turns off the edge data(the "E" disappears from status bar) and all the sms will finally come in. Ive tried installing boss prefs to disable edge, and also have just gone into network settings to turn off data roaming, but this doesnt fix the problem, so maybe its more related to how the virgin sim's software is reacting to firmware 2.1's modem firmware(02.11.07).

The problem probably happens during the boot process, because I notice that if your phone boots up and CAN accept calls, then you have nothing to worry about as long as you dont reboot.

But if it boots up and CANNOT recieve calls, then your best bet is to shut the phone back down and boot up again.

Again I want to stress that the problem doesnt seem to happen at random while using the phone, and what I mean by that is that if your incoming calls are working, then as long as you dont reboot they WILL continue to work... so dont be scared that by using virgin sim your calls at random periods will not work.

It would really help if there were some other testers or users that have the latest modem firmware installed to compare results with me. Let me know if anyone is using virgin sim with modem firmware 2.11.07 installed.

Im going to try turning off data roaming first, then rebooting. Then after it boots up, try my incoming calls. If that takes care of the problem then I can turn on data roaming and see if the incoming calls still come in. This may be a simple solution, but is going to require a lot of reboots to try to replicate the problem, cause it only happens once every couple reboots. But I mess with my phone a lot testing other products which causes me to reboot more than the average user. I'll keep you all posted, but any help would be appreciated.
