    try taking the battery out for a couple of mins.

    if that doesnt work, its most likely a software fault
  • i tried that, tried different sims, left it turned off overnight, nothing seems to make a difference

    Sounds like a software fault, is the phone still under warranty ? If so take it back to the shop where they will re-flash it.
  • the phone is a couple of years old so i cant return it.
    what is flashing? can it be done in most repair shops? is it expensive?
    thanks

    flashing/reflashing is where the software on the phone is reloaded onto the phone
