Is it usual for a phone to start consuming battery life at a high rate?
It is used for the occasional text and call only.

I have a non-smart phone a Nokia 6300 which is now going thru its
battery in a day rather than a week.
I've tried changing the battery but no improvement.

Thanks

Yes if you move from an area of high signal strength to one where there
is not much signal and the phone has to work hard to contact the base
station.
