This morning I got a call from a friend I haven’t talked to in a while, and she said she’d just gotten a call from me, but when she answered it the line was dead. I checked my log, and sure enough there’s an outgoing call to her, but I didn’t make it. I wasn’t even using the phone around that time, it was on but just sitting on my desk.
So how the hell did that happen? Do I have gremlins or something? Anyone else ever have something like that happen?
Yep, I’ve been on the receiving end of a phone call like that. She swears it was on her desk, and she hadn’t touched it. WAG: Cell phones are always doing stuff, even if they’re inactive. There must have been some type of bug in the code that caused it to make a call.
That, or it’s a sign from above telling you it was time to start talking more often. 
Been there, got the call, and have been the sender of the call.
Pretty strange. Only folks who are on my phone list, as far as I know. (I know I am on the list of the incoming sender’s phone, as well.)
What bugs me, theoretically, is that that could be a pay rate minute. Yeah, not really, since I have never paid for a minute yet, but, you know, theoretically, I’m pissed.

Hubby has a Tracfone which has Phoned Home all by itself, and which has phoned his SIL in Michigan all by itself several times. You answer it, and there’s background noise which is clearly of him at work with the phone in his pocket. We assumed it was the speed dial function as the phone banged around in his pocket and managed to combine a sequence of button pushes, because he refuses to put it in a case.
So he got a flip phone.
I’ve had it happen with phone numbers that aren’t even in my phone book. While my phone was locked and in my bag. It was a flip-phone, so it’s not like the buttons could have been pressed accidentally even if it was somehow unlocked.
Gremlins. I blame gremlins.
