Does your phone randomly call people?

[papie]

If yes, why don't you lock it???


I am annoyed because H's phone called me twice yesterday while he was walking to the train. All I could hear was swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

And right now, the phone of our daycare's general manager (I am the president of the board which is why I am in her contacts) just called me twice while she is in a restaurant. I can hear her talking away about her 22 month old granddaughter, lol. I tried yelling her name but she is a little deaf so I am sure she wouldn't hear any noise coming from her phone in a loud restaurant.

Why does it always happen to me? Lock your phones!!!!

(Oh and Like ten years ago H's phone once called one of our friends while we were in the car talking ABOUT him. Somehow that didn't teach my H anything).

H has a blackberry. I wonder what the lady has, definitely not a smart phone, she doesn't check email from home.

Mine does, and I lock it. But it locks after 1 minute, and sometimes it pocket dials people in that one minute before it locks.

I haven't had this happen since the advent of smart phones. My mom's phone used to call me all the time though.

MH's has called me, and it's locked! I think he had just made a call and it hadn't shut itself off yet.

I've never had this problem.

The road reps that I work with constantly pocket dial, they have blackberrys.

omg my mom "butt dials" me all the time. I must be the first in her contact list or something. and she has an iphone, so I don't know why she doesn't lock it. my dad has a dumb phone. they are the only two people who accidentally call me. usually it's when I'm at work.

No, Lucy calls moe all the time though!

My phone kept randomly trying to FaceTime my SIL the other day. I was using the phone, doing non-FaceTime things (& hadn't used FT in days) and a notification kept popping up that her phone could not accept FT audio calls. It did that one other time with a random, new friend, too.

No actual butt dials sent or received in a few years, though.

I took the lock off my phone because it was driving me crazy but then I kept getting pictures of the inside of my purse. Lock back on.

This happened to me all the time when I had an iPhone. My cheek always hit the FaceTime button while I was on a call. It would mess up the call or confuse people why I wanted to facetime. I finally learned to hit the home button right after I answered a call so my stupid cheeks wouldn't have any buttons to hit. Cheek dialing was my new butt dialing.

I can see how that could happen...but I wasn't even on a call!  I was texting someone else or on Facebook when it happened!

I'm just glad it was her and not some random former acquaintance who I never deleted from my phone book!

Lollll butt dialing. My mom does it and not just once but 3 or 4 calls in a row. The kids get a kick out of talking to grandma's butt.

I don't know about calls but before I joined the iphone world I was using a blackberry and that thing unlocks so easily. It did not make calls but it would text the last person I texted all the freaking time! Texting that person would have been the last thing I also did. I was carpooling with a male friend and it would send pics of my dogs or my husband while we were both in the car. I hated that phone so much! LOL!

Mine doesn't but my dads does. I'm the first on his contacts list so he used to call me at least once a week. I would say hello and if no one was there I would hang up then send him a text laughing at him for butt dialing me.

H's phone does this all the time, despite being locked. I think if must still call your emergency contacts. He has a galaxy. I like to remind him of this every time he complains about how much he hates apple/my iPhone.

The really annoying part is that it calls his parents sometimes, who EVERY TIME assume the worst has happened, listen to his pocket talking for 15 minutes, then call me and ask if everything is okay. Once this was at 10:45 pm when I was in bed.

Yes, my mom's phone does this while locked except she calls 911. She's done it like 10 times and for some odd reason has not been arrested yet!
