Few days ago, I was charging my Nokia 6233 and noticed that the battery started to get very hot. I stopped the charging and removed the battery. It looked and felt swollen. It got so swollen that I couldn't place the battery cover over it when the battery was installed in the phone. I then took the battery out of my mom's Nokia N73 and saw that it was the same model as the one in my Nokia 6233. I installed the battery from the N73 in my 6233 and everything was fine. However, I noticed that even with full signal, I couldn't make or receive calls nor send or receive text messages. The phone/SIM worked sometimes but most of the time I couldn't perform any sort of communication. The phone itself is fine, I can go through menus and everything. Also note that sometimes the phone states no signal at all.

Just to verify that it is not the SIM's fault, I placed the SIM in my mom's N73 and everything works just fine. I can send/receive calls including text messages.

What's wrong with my 6233? :sad:
 
If your battery was swollen, it's dangerous to use. You need to dispose it right away. Maybe the problem is really with the battery. Why don't you buy a new battery? This is just my opinion.
