Cell Phone Woes

My cell phone, a Motorolla SLVR that I bought in July 2006, is acting up. Basically I receive calls whenever it feels like it. Otherwise, they just go straight to my voicemail even though the phone is turned on.
It started to happen when I first came to Dallas a few months after I bought the phone. The support dude told me to turn it off for 20-30 seconds and then turn it back on so the phone could register with the network or something. Now, however, even after turning it off and on again in the morning I'll sometimes miss calls and sometimes it doesn't show that I missed call, but sometimes it does.
It's frustrating and I really don't want to buy a new phone, regardless of how cheap they are. I like my phone's size and iTunes is nice to have on there for road trips, etc.
Help?

first-back up all your contact and that jazz to a sd card or to your computer if you can.
second-do a master reset on your phone. its possible that the software on the phone is corrupted. phones can get viruses just like computers. a master reset will set everything back to factory defaults.
third-if your service provider uses sim cards, it could be the sim card. request that they replace it.
if that all fails and your phone isn't under warranty, then check if you are able to upgrade. upgrading will add on to your contract, but it will cut down on the cost of a new phone. so you will pay like 60 to 70 dollars for a good phone if it has a rebate.
