Restarting programs can often cure their erratic behavior, but sometimes you need to go nuclear and wipe out everything so you can start all over again. Resetting all parts of your iPhone can be especially useful if you're getting rid of your iPhone and want to erase any private information stored on it.
For the most part, you'll find your iPhone reliable and ready to use at all times.

As a last resort, bring your iPhone in to your nearest Apple store and let the experts worry about making the reluctant hardware work again.
