It’s worth a try. It’s an Android but from a couple years ago.

There’s another that worked fine but I wanted this (now corrupted) phone. So I idled that phone for almost a year.

It (the idled phone) was fine ........ until I resurrected it. VERY BAD on voice, text and internet connection. A complete waste of time to even try to call someone.

Finally found a comment (elsewhere) where they suggested:

1) Power the phone off
2) Remove the SIM card
3) Wait at least 30 seconds
4) Reinstall SIM card.
5) Reboot the phone.

By golly it worked on that phone.

I may try similar with this phone after your suggestion. I’m fairly-certain it has a removable battery. I’ll have to charge it up first.

Yes. I remember now that I removed both the batter AND Sim card. In think I replaced the card after fully charging and rebooting but it has been years.
