Do Phones Have EXPIRING Date? by Eberex(m): 11:11am On Jul 02, 2014
I have a phone I bought last 3 years, Nokia to be precise. Recently its behaving kind of weird. For instance the call button doesn't work and sometimes it does. When people call they tell me they hear it ringing, but my phone doesn't , hell it doesn't even show missed calls. Someone told me he called me eight good times and that it rang all through!!! In summary most of the times the keypads don't respond to my commands. Should I throw it away and give it a befitting burial or....................anyone know why this is so?

Before I opened your thread I already had known it will be a Nokia phone.....not surprised.

Even though I have no concrete evidence I will say it seems so.
I have used 3 Nokia phones In the past that just stopped working after 3years and the repairers couldn't fix them.

I believe its a plan by the makers to force you to buy their newer product. At least you wouldn't get a new phone if the old was still serving you well.

It's called wear and tear. The more you use a device, the more component parts begin to fail.
