I hate phones!!

My husband and I have a contract with one of those phone companies ya know who I am talking about! Anyway for the past week his phone keeps "butt" dialing (we say that because of the commercial it is so funny)it is driving me crazy the phone at home rings constantly the answer machine will pick up and I can hear him working and laughing and whatever else he does at work but the worst part is it does it about 5 times a day and even when he is at home it dials by itself he was in the other room when the phone rang the other morning and it was him! (and he had no clue)What is making it do this? Then last night I went to turn my cell phone off and it froze (and usually when it does this I just take the battery out and put it back in and it will be fine) No, No not this time it just DIED!! Did you hear me DIED nothing on nothing flickered what happened? I have all my numbers (of friends with cell phones on there) all my pictures are GONE! Why did both are phones go out within a week of each other it just doesn't make since. I ordered new batteries for both and we are going to try that if that don't work I found out we can order new phones on Friday when our contract is up! But I like my little pink phone now I have to start over!*Update* I got a new battery and my phone is WORKING NOW, and my husbands not so good still so he still wants us to get new ones:(
