Hi Scott, Thank you for the instructions. I was on the verge of doing this when I realized I do not know how to get my phone out of test mode. Is this just a one time thing and it automatically reverts? Or do I need to do something, and if so what? You can tell I don't know what I'm doing really, right? No, don't answer that. Mary
