Narrative:
Upon departure at 2;500 ft; 170 on the speed and at an OAT of 2C we experienced a flaps fail EICAS message. Upon inspection it was discovered that the flaps had failed at 16 degrees. We elected to remain at airspeed of 220 and requested an altitude of 15;000 from ARTCC. The pilot operating manual (pom) was called for and the flaps fail checklist was run. After completion of the checklist we tried to get a hold of dispatch without success. We tried ACARS via text message; no response; we then tried a commercial radio; no response. Finally we received a response from using the alternate network. Based on the weather in our departure airport it was determined that a class B airport was the nearest suitable airport. We landed without further incident.
