Help receive SMS/Internet no calls

So my wife's note seems to have gone wonky on us..still a year left in the contract, but apparently out of warranty.

Here is the issue
The phone can receive SMS
the phone can use internet off the cellular 3G service
the phone cannot seem to make or receive calls. It tries to dial, but it never connects, but no message saying it failed

She took it to the service center today. they first wiped her phone and upgraded android to 4.1.2 (apparently the latest stock version they have)

that failed so they sent her to the providers service center for a new Sim card
paid $10 for that and it didn't work.
So they told her they'd have to replace the entire main board for $225

We'll probably end up going to a third party repair shop where we can get the board cheaper, but before that, is there anything I can do to try and see if I can make this work. It seems they're utterly clueless and have no idea what the real problem is and are just throwing stuff at it and hope something fixes it.
 
I live in Singapore.what you are describing is pretty much what most of the GN owners that I know locally complain about. Only it magically gets better if you remove the battery, and the reinstall it. The Singtel guy told me to power cycle the phone every few days. I use it as a tablet now.

Why is yours doing it all the time is a mystery to me.
 
Unfortunately no dice. I took the battery out, left it out a few minutes and put it back in and powered it on. Still not able to make a call with it.
