Help Error #16? What the Heck is it?

So I've been flashing ROMs like crazy recently, and out of the blue, I get an error #16 whenever I try to place a call. If I try to text, I get the same thing... well not necessarily the same thing, but it refuses to send. Internet works like a charm though. Is there anyone out there who knows about this? Because it's annoying the crap out of me.

For the record, I went back to stock using the RUU and still it doesn't work.
 
You need to call Virgin, error16 usually means your phone was flagged for having two phones on the network using the same ESN. In other words, the system suspects your phone was cloned.

Odds are a tower glitched and thinks it saw two of your phone. It happens on occasion.

An alternative fix is to activate a different phone, then 24 later reactivate your current one. I would just call.
