Title: Phone went strange
Post by: Roxy on July 22, 2011, 12:28:27 am
I woke up at 2am this morning, because my phone had woken me ....it was flashing. Then to my horror, it decided to ring the last number used, which was my brother.  No matter what  I pressed, it refused to listen.

My brother rang me this morning to ask why  I had rung him every hour from 2am ;D  I tried to say it was the phone, not me ........

It was worse one day last summer.  On the way back from a horse show I kept getting people returning my call, which puzzled me as I had not rung.  Turned out my phone had rang all in my address book, not once, but several times!!

Phone seems ok at the moment.  Although come 2am it may decide to have some fun!!

Roxy, I take it this is a mobile?  Take a note of any diary dates you want to remember that are on your phone, download your contacts list to you PC, then update the software on your phone from the maker's website - if you connect it to the PC it should show messages on screen to follow easily.  You should eb able to synch to your pc as well so everything is stored there as backup.

Also i read somewhere that if you have bluetooth connectivity and you have it on somehow (don't know as not that way minded!) others can get in your phone and do things! Check your bill as if you're on contract you could be running up one helluva bill with all this or if you're pay as you go is running out quicker!

Obviously your phone is possessed by demons...

Other option is that you are going quite bonkers and have taken up "Sleep Phoning"

Glad to help  :bunny:

Is it a touch screen?
My friend's kept doing this, in the end she persuaded the phone company (Orange I think) to replace it....

The first listing in my phone is (####### 111 my own number) - with my number programmed

My accountant was getting bored of me sitting on my phone at 1.30 in the morning and ringing him ;)

I hope your Accountant did not bill you for taking your phone call at such an hour? :D

My hubby presented me with a very posh Samsung phone yesterday.   I eyed it suspiciously - touch screen, lots of things it could do - and when I did touch it, it was so sensitive, it went on to something I did not want.   Today, discovered I had no contacts (due to me not saving them to my phone).

Demanded my old phone back today - do not like the new fangled one at all.

My upgrade was an android - similar to an iphone.  I was very wary but having sorted out where everything is that I had before (found out how to transfer from old pone to new one by bluetooth) I am a happy bunny.  Could do with a case with a hand strap on it though as I nearly lost it out a train window today when my grandson nudged me accidentally.  ::)
