2 issues: Losing cellular/data sometimes/ dialer malfunction

[ronpfid]

Any suggestions on this,...
1) Sometimes when I'm out and about, I go to make a call and it cant, it has no connection. I have to restart phone to get it back. This would suck in an emergency situation. Also, it causes me to miss calls, I'll see a voicemail sometime later where someone tried to call me.

2) This one is just more annoying, pick a contact or phone link, press dial, it goes to call screen, then immediately pops back to the first blank dialer screen, have to go back into contacts, refind, then dial again. It does this 3 out 4 times when I go to call a number.

Any ideas on these issues? Thanks in advance,
Ron

Have you tried stopping by at one of your carrier's stores? Switch out the SIM card for a new one and see if that solves your problems. Could be that the SIM is either dirty or "kaputt".

oh wow, never suspected the sim, think that might be causing the dialing issue too?

If the phone can't dial due SIM / network issues, yes.

I will try this then, so a verizon store is where to do this, hopefully they will 'just try it' and not wipe my phone , thanks for the advice!

oh man, I just enabled that, I bet thats it, going to try that first, thanks!!!

Shutting off HD calling seems to have fixed the 'losing cellular data' issue. I do still have that issue of clicking dial, it goes to dial then bounces back and have to click dial a second or 3rd time.
