I recently purchased a SciPhone 4G with a dual Sim card phone. I was very happy with this phone. I had no problems until one day I couldn’t call out. I kept getting a not allowed to dial message every time I tried to call anyone.
I could still receive calls and send and receive texts but I couldn’t call out. After quite a bit of research on the internet I came up with a solution. None of the solutions available had all the information I needed I just kept trying different combinations until it worked.
Here is the step by step solution I used to remove the “not allowed to dial” message and allow me to dial out again.
- turn off the phone
- place 2 sims on the phone
- restart the phone
- keep the WLAN disabled
- enter the engineering mode * # 82043036 #
- select the option RF Test Tool (on my phone it’s option 13)
- Select GSM, to accept him
- go to Power scan
- go to Band Select and select OK DCS1800
- another screen will appear (model F003) look at each of the options until you find one that will have your phone appear unresponsive (this locked)
- pressing the main button (the box) will take you to the home screen
- go to the setup menu
- go to network settings menu SIM1
- this is a preferred mode
- select one of the preferred modes GSM or WILAN
- restart the phone and you should be ready to make calls
You just enter the code/s into the phone number area in the dial section and the phone will recognize it and enter into the proper mode.
I still love this phone. It has built in WIFI so I can surf the internet with out having to have a data plan from my service provider. I use T-Mobile.

I must admit I was the one who caused the problem. I am the kind of person who wants to know just what settings are available on any piece of technology I have. So if you are like me and have changed a setting on your SciPhone i68 4G Quad band Phone with WIFI and get the not allowed to dial message, these instructions should help you back to making calls again.
