The battery was low (one bar on the display) so I put it on charge for a
couple of hours. It then wouldn't switch on. The battery is 3.77V on my
digital multimeter. Under the battery, there is a 6mm circular display
under the CE number. This circle is red with some small splashes on the
baseplate. The phone will not activate and does not respond when dialled
from another phone. The phone is definitely out of warranty so I guess the
answer is to buy a new phone which will accept my SIM card and outstanding
credits. I am on PAYG with Orange. Any recommendations? I don't want too
much - just a phone with a camera. Another Motorola RAZR V3 would be fine
(I have a spare battery).
