I have an old Nokia 3310 that I would like to start using again.

It has an old Ni-MH battery which seemed to charge up fine. I got a new SIM card for my other phone and used the old card for this one.

When I tested the phone it seemed to work fine. I could use the menus and it could receive calls without problems; but when I try making a call with the phone, it dies as soon as it has dialed, the screen goes black and I have to restart it.

Do you guys think the is just a battery related problem or is it more likely to be the phone that has a problem?
