Cell phones: My Treo and Blackberry mysteriously call people
My Treo and Blackberry mysteriously call people
by lemack - 12/8/07 5:22 PMMy Treo and Blackberry mysteriously call people in the middle of the night and sometimes during the day(randomly). Has anyone else experienced this type of auto dialing? If so, aside from locking the keyboard (which I've already done) can you suggest other solutions?
Weird one

Its with your service provider not your phones.

People would call me asking if I had just called them, or my phone would ring once then nothing. If I called the number from the single ring, the person would of course deny it. My provider, Verizon, was clueless as to the cause. I ignored it for a while as it only happened once or twice a month. Then the frquency increased alot to sometimes twice or three times a day. I began jotting down the number and time each time it happened. After a week of incidents I called Verizon and game them my info. Again, I got a big shrug and a mild apology. I ended up talking to a senior tech and together we came up with a possible theoretical problem: the computer system that updates cell phones location was somehow calling the phones with the previous number stored in its buffer. About a month after this conversation, my mysterious calls stopped. Hope this info helps.

Not likely your keyboard.

It is your providers system burping on a glitch. Additionally, if you have incoming random calls, it can't possibly be your phone at all.
