Take the battery out for at least 30 seconds and then replace. Any time my phone has acted weird that has solved the problem. Good luck!

Do you have a home phone? If that doesn't work I'd call your provider or go online to see if they have a chat service.

there is a key code to punch in to make the phone search for all available cell towers.

But I don't know it.
can you call *611 for tech help? or it does not even get that far.
