Are you sure the problem is your phone and not your service? Just a thought... If your service wasn't working in the area that you were in, the call would go straight to voice mail.

No, I'm not sure. The cell phone company has reset the phone several times. It is inside my house and a lot of the time it works, so I really don't know.

I get that problem when my tower is weak. People call me, go straight to voice mail, and later I hear the phone beep the little message alert.
I have an older LG phone that is JUST a phone. Believe me, I wanna keep this phone running for as long as I can!

Depending on where you are in Mississippi, you may just not get on well with "modern" phones. Most new phones these days are digital only, but there are still a LOT of rural areas that have only analog service.
That's why I switched carriers, actually. I'd been a happy Cingular customer for like 10 years, but I really needed a new phone, and Cingular doesn't offer any phones with analog service. I went to Verizon and got an LG VX5300, which may be the only analog phone they offer, if they even still do. It isn't nearly as convenient as the Nokia phones I've had, but I didn't *lose* coverage by getting a new phone, and that was my main criterion.
Plus, I finally got the next level of digital speed plus Bluetooth... infrared dial-up Internet connection was just a PITA.

Ooh, yeah, my LG is one of the last analog/digital phones I could find. (I think it was called a "trimodal" phone?) Another reason to keep it!

I've got one of those "bag phones" around somewhere. I bet it works great!

I have two Razr's (one for each personality
). I agree that the problem is probably the service and not the phone.
Silver had this problem with her non-Razr and cingular indicated that there were some downloads needed to update the programing...or something like that (my other personality has the better memory
)
