iPhone 3GS drops call and reverts to apple logo

Fully charged iPhone 3GS with masses of free capacity drops calls after a few minutes chatting and reverts to apple logo. I am not sure if is rebooting but seems to come back to life a couple of minutes later. It has done this for months if not years and across several firmware versions. It may very well have done it from new. Is there an internal log that I can get at to see what is happening ? Carrier will blame phone and Apple will likely blame carrier. Someone help please. It's been a great phone otherwise. Note have not upraded to iOS6 because of crappy mapping. Google Maps is one of my most used apps.

Regards

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 17"

Ok don't have a attitude with me or even other people on these forums, as it helps none of us and gets you no where. Also im saying if you go into a app yourself and use data, and there is some apps that can be using data in the background for instance if you don't double click the home button and quit the apps then they are most likely to be using data.

Having read hundreds of posts on this problem all over the internet it's pretty clear Apple shipped thousands of faulty iPhone 3GS's. If you dobt me do some Google searching and you will see I am right. Of course they will not want to admit that because it will likely cost them money. Instaed they want you to take the phone in for repair and pay to get back a refurbished phone that was likely someone elses before and probably had the same problem before they "refurbished" it. I am really coming to hate large American Corporations. What I want to know here is can I get MY PHONE fixed and get the SAME phone back ?
