Big button mobile

Not much luck, bought the phone from eBay, first the battery has swollen now every time I received an outside calls it cuts off. Can receive calls ok. So disappointed does anybody knows why?

    No offence but it's probably a cheap and nasty phone - might be better to get a half decent one from Asda, at least you can take it back if any problems

    You have provided zero information with regards to the phone so it's very difficult to provide any useful response aside from sending it back to the seller and getting a refund. 

    It is very unusual to get such problems on even a half decent make of phone so, as mentioned above, it would seem that you have made an unwise purchase.

    Is this to do with all your other threads about big button phones, it is far better to keep all related posts on one thread and then posters like @Neil49 won't have to ask for more info.
