Don't be ridiculous.

A bank customer help desk, for example, has to answer questions from 
clients on any type of phone. The bank has no say on what type of phone 
the clients come with. If they try, clients will go elsewhere with their 
good money.

You miss the topic. We are not discussing clients.

  Others already posted the volume-down+power buttons method to force a
reboot.

  As to the freeze/hang/crash/<whatever>: If that keeps reoccuring,
check in the Play Store app if Facebook has been recently updated, i.e.
in the last few days or so.

  If so, and if you (like me) don't need/use Facebook, then uninstall
it. You probably can not completely uninstall it, but you can uninstall
updates (three-dot icon in the App info screen) and Disable it. You may
also have to do the same for some Meta related apps, but start with
Facebook. Come back to me (here) if your problem indeed seems Facebook
related, but it has not been completely resolved, i.e. the phone still
crashes or/and reboots.

Yes, I tried it and it worked. 

Thanks very much to those who suggested it.

I haven't had this problem, but a couple times I couldn't hang up the
phone.  I wanted to make another call and tapping the icon did nothing.
Finally noticed on another screen that it still said "Hanging up" 8
minutes after I thought I hung up.  

Turning off the phone solved it.   

I was almost the last to leave a funeral, still in the cemetery, when
the phone vibrated.  I ignored it expecting it to go to voicemail, as it
should have, but it didn't.  Finally I answered and no one was there. So
I hung up, or at least I tried to.
