Chosen Solution

Cell reception triangle remains blank even when I’m in obvious cell range. To left of triangle reads “Emergency Calls Only.” Thus phone useless for telephoning and messaging. All works fine otherwise. I chatted with Tracfone. They told me to remove then replace the battery. Removing the battery is no small procedure for this phone. Thus, I am asking for help. Thanks, Jim Jarvis By the way. Phone hasn’t been dropped, exposed to water, etc. Phone is well taken care of.

To remove the battery follow this guide.
