Reviewed, not considered spam.  A different question, and perhaps not the best place to ask, but no worse than many other questions posted in this forum.

Now if the poster had put a link to promote some service, POOF.

1. That's a very old generation phone. I had one of those years ago.

2. Why don't you call Samsung?

 Seeing that you're a commercial real estate agent. Sell something, than buy a new phone, probably the best solution! Your phone is kind of ancient.

The S3 is very old technology.  It may be fried.  Otherwise, my advice is to go to:

Ringtone

The phone is antique. I would save the hasstle and purchase a new phone with new technology. The Iphone 11 is fantastic for business or save a ton of money gettint the Iphone X. If is is a Samsung you prefer, go with the Galaxy 10.
