Can you make phone calls?

Is it an Optus phone? If it is, please read this.

Yes I can make & receive phone calls Jon, when I press the icon to send a message a pale blue halo appears around the icon then the phone goes back to start up screen, my phone is with Boost owned by Telstra.
I can also receive messages but can't answer or send one. :?

Shirley,
the little stall at Woolies Lake Munmorah is very good at fixing those kinds of crappy events. They are not overpriced and often will do the work while you have a coffee next door.
Hope they can help you xxx

Thanks Deborah, I did get a new battery put in Bruce's old iPhone at that stall at LM.
