Why can't i receive calls when I am writing a text message or reading a text message?

Well my phone does not put a call through no matter what I am doing. So, obviously there is something wrong...

Just as other people have mentioned previously in this thread; I'd also have to recommend going into or at least calling your local Verizon store. Receiving a phone call should override what you're doing at any given time.

You can't be on the internet while talking on the phone like you can on an iPhone...

....

Partially correct. On AT&T you must also have 3G to accomplish this. And, *clears throat, we know how widespread that coverage is.

When I get a call no matter what I'm doing the Droid navigates right to the call. Something isn't right here. I'd discuss that with Verizon if I were you.

+2 Same here.

If you're on wifi you can do this. If your on 3G you can't.

Er.


Text uses 1X network, aka voice. Not 3G. 3G has nothing to do with texting while talking, which is possible, yes. So is getting a call mid-text.

So in summary, SMS does not use 3G or wifi.
