I'm at a loss. Since I purchased this brimming phone its caused me so many problems and I'm chronically ill and physically disabled on disability benefits and if its not possible too return the phone as I did a week after purchasing from tesco they refused to tale it back even though yhe first 2 phone's A13 Samsung same make but different boxes they both had problems so i thought 3rd time lucky as with leather cover snd top up cost me over £200 but after s week they refused to refund and I still have box receipt everything fro. Last summer and it'd problems after problems sbd since the phone decided to download some ui 5 upfatd it will be on Samsung Internet in Belgium and then k can't top up then I can't recieve calls and today I csnt make outgoing calls and I rely on a phone to call support team Dr's carers hospital as I'm terminally ill but cause I've dementia and couldn't remember password to email address they refused to take another defunct phone from the same batch I yried 2 before this one. Cam someone help as I'm confined to home and bed and cannot remember any passwords as I have to keep making a new email address and can't buy as most sites say I'm barred from site ie Samsung fault. I cannot purchase a new phone as I cannot order from this one nir make or recieve calls only since Sunday anc I don't use it much only gor emergencies and Dr's hospital etc so can someone please help me as I csnt get out and have noone Co.ing till Sunday unless I call but I need to either swap this phone or have someone pick it up a courier as I hold nit only tesco bug Samsung at fault with the faulty phone mo tesco around where I live will take back snd k still hsbd nox and receipt and is only7 months old. Until I've had a refund and compensation as ivd also been hacked and defrauded I think Samsung or tesco had better do something as until I've returned and been refunded the money for phone and case and compensation for ruining u months of a do called smartphone. Please someone help me with what to do as I csnt call anyone. Thanks a desperate OAP who's very poorly and without a lune for emergencies too.

Galaxy A SeriesHi @DESPERATE7 ,
I've moved your post to here to give it its own topic.
I'm guessing from what you've said that you're on a Pay-As-You-Go SIM deal, and that the inability to make or receive calls is related to not being able to top up and having run out of credit on it.
Which network are you with?
And are you able to use the Google web browser on your phone?

Galaxy A SeriesDoes the call issue affect both the O2 and Tesco SIMs?
Were you able to make and receive calls with your new phone before, or have you had the call issue from the very start?
Any messaging displayed on the screen of your phone, e.g. 'Emergency calls only' or 'Not registered on network'?
And just to clarify: what were the problems you had with the other phones you returned?
