Would root make phone not receive or make calls? If I go down my street I can make calls.

I have a program that makes outgoing GSM data calls. I'm trying to find a way of not making calls when the phone is not in a state to make a call. Calling lineGetLineDevStatus return with some useful information but the data in dwDevStatusFlags does not show if the phone is locked or not. The flag LINEDEVSTATUSFLAGS_LOCKED does not seem to get set by the XDA software.
Does anyone know of a reliable way to check that the phone is in a state to make an outgoing call?
Thanks
I recall seeing a post from here about the same issue. I was trying to look for it but no luck. So here goes nothing. I remember reading about forwarding calls from the number that the HTC Shift uses and the device will always reject the calls before it even gets forwarded. Just wondering if this still stands true. And if not, forwarding calls doesn't mean forwarding text too, correct?
Once again, sorry if this is a repost, but i tried.
There is still no solution 'til now for this issue. Shift will reject incoming calls by first ring tone. After this (in German T-Mobile network) I receive a SMS on the Shift with the data of the incoming call.

For two or thre days I always get a busy signal whoever i call. I realised it quite late, because I also use different phones, but. People can call me, but i can't call call anyone.
I also can't send any sms messages and it asks if it shall resend them.
Though the phone stills go online and receives Emails and so on....
So:
i can be called
Data conection works
outgoing calls and sms do not work
Okay guys I have just found something interesting and would like to see what your opinions or if my idea makes sense.
With the new google calling on Gmail.com, I went into my gvoice setting and I saw that I can now forward my calls to gmail.com instead of to my cell phone. I have only checked gmail as the number to forward my calls to, so when I make a call it actually goes through gmail and not my cell phone. thus, its free?
The problem with this is that I can now make free calls out with my gv number but will not be able to receive calls on my cell if someone calls my gv number since its not being forwarded to my cell number.
I hope I am explaining myself clear enough
Pretty sure you just told all incoming calls to go to GMail, and that's it. You didn't change any setting for outgoing calls, you are still using your plan minutes. Because you are still calling an actual phone number.
Just because you change a setting in the Voice options doesn't mean your phone suddenly knows to do voip without any voip program to do it. Your phone is still using normal voice calls.
I think you're right now that I think about it more....my bad...
mod, please delete thread.
Wait, don't quit just yet. What provider are you with? If you have a plan that gives you phone numbers you can call without costing minutes, you can assign your GV number to that. You can then make and receive calls from your GV number without using minutes. I did this for about 6 months with Myfaves until I realized I just didn't make enough phone calls for it to be worth it.
The native dailer is having a weird interaction with GV if I set it to make all calls. When I dial out the native dial keeps flashing between the calling prompt and the normal call connected screen. Anyone solve this? I'm really just trying to make sure my GV number gets on caller ID, not make wifi calls.
I use GV to make all calls and haven't seen the issue you are describing . I'm on at&t
