My Newish S3 Won't make/receive calls

Firstly I am cheap.   When my Droid Maxx met death via water I took to eBay for an Android replacement and got the S3.  Loved it for two days until I found it wouldn't *consistently* make or receive calls.  Consistently changed to wouldn't at all.

2 tickets with Verizon who first said "this is definitely network related" to "this must be device related" to "its the SIM card".  I tried the usual routine of battery pull, safe mode boot, reset to factory and finally today a trip to Verizon for a new SIM card.

Of course the device worked fine at Verizon.  Get into the car and at home...  about 1/10 calls to or from the device work.   NEVER one problem with the Motorola.   the eBay merchant will take the phone back for full refund.

My question to you-- Samsung again or is this common (as it seems in this forum and others)
