I've been having a somewhat recurring problem with my new phone (about six months old now) that is about the worst problem one can have with a phone -- inability to make or receive calls. Yesterday it happened again, and I knew it for sure when I tried to make a call and I immediately saw a "couldn't connect" message. I don't know if anyone tried to call me but failed.
The good news is that the problem is perfectly fixable simply by the old reboot technique. But I feel that it shouldn't be happening in the first place (it never did with my old phone). It's not like there's a big message on my screen saying "phone is offline" (and, strangely enough, as far as I can tell, I can still use its browser without the problem, so it's not even totally offline), so the problem could be occurring without me even noticing it until I try to make a call. Does anyone here know what would cause this to happen and how to prevent it? Thank you.
