3 months ago I bought the Casio C721. Worked great for 2 months. One day it randomly started to turn itself on and off all night. Not a thing I could so about it. Take it to the store the next morning and there is nothing they can do, I get the warranty center’s number. I restored the phone and it was fine in till the super bowl. Started turning itself off / on again over and over. I could not “master” rest the phone. I call explain my problem after a half hour they agree to send me a “new” phone (refurb). I get the “new” phone Wednesday and it seemed all was well. Tonight I was sitting at fire fighter training and it starts again. no control over it. Finally I get it to restore the phone. I dial \*228 to reactivate the phone and I think all is good for now. Wrong I can’t text or call When I make a call it just say my call can not be authenticated at this time. Anyone else have problems like this? Get anywhere with them? ---

Sometimes people ask me why I stick with T-Mo and I tell them that I never once had to deal with any service/billing/retarded issues. ---

My LG EnV2 shuts itself off randomly. I hate VZW phones. I swear it is a software issue they add to the phones, so most stupid people will just go buy a new one. ---

they will give you money for a new phone if your phone fucks up 3 or 4 times (or you get 3 or 4 replacements.) ---

If you go in and tell them you don’t want the same phone AGAIN they will usually give you a credit towards a different phone. ---

My Env touch does the same. I totally agree its the BS software. I have had other people many states away say the exact same thing about the VZW Env series turning off for no reason. ---

That’s what happens when you take a whole bunch of devices, each designed by their manufacturer to operate with certain systems, and all of a sudden tell them they all have to run the same proprietary OS that you give them. It’s like putting Windows CE on a GPS. It’s a crapshoot that it will actually work right. ---

Well this is my 3rd one and they want to give me a referb. Or switch me to a different model referb. I paid $356 for this phone WITH a new 2 year agreement and they want to swap me to a lesser model referb. I’m going to the store after work and totally wrecking someones day there. EDIT: this phone I have now was only on the market for 3 months … humm intersting [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/vzw-problems/79331.md?page=2)
