The phone dials the number itself and rings. IPhone rings itself or a call from a parallel universe

Once upon a time, on some forum I have already forgotten, I read how iPhone phone users complain that their device itself makes calls to various friends and unfamiliar numbers. Moreover, this was not a case where a person accidentally touched the phone screen in his pocket and it made a call, which sometimes also happens. The fact is that many people checking their outgoing messages (application - Recents section) did not find this very thing there outgoing call. After which, owners of iPhones with a similar illness began to build different versions:

Why can the iPhone make calls on its own? popular versions network users

• The most popular technical problem is some kind of operating room glitch iOS systems, as a result of which the phone dials one of latest issues without recording the call in the outgoing call log. Or service provider hardware failure cellular communication.
• Conspiracy version: I'm under cover! Security officer "Rabinovich" is tapping the phone and accidentally pressed some wrong button!
• Otherworldly version: A call from a parallel universe, well, there seems to be the same person with the same number and he is trying to communicate something important to our world, but “Rabinovich” turns you off in time, since communication with parallel universes is prohibited by interuniversal regulations!
• Well latest version household: In fact, the owner of the iPhone called, reset the call, then erased it from the outgoing calls and waited for them to call back, and if they call back and ask: “Called” ?”, then be stupid, referring to the versions described above!

I encountered a similar illness

The situation is as follows: I’m sleeping, night (03-15), there is a sound iPhone call, and from there the voice of a comrade: “ Did you just call?", I answer: " I've been sleeping for a long time and haven't called“, then I suggest you sort it out in the morning.

The next day I look at the outgoing log and clearly see that I didn’t make any calls at night (or even in the evening). I’m going over the events of yesterday evening in my head and remember that the entire evening the iPhone was in Airplane mode (that is, disconnected from the mobile network, the same as being turned off). I turned my iPhone into work mode only before going to bed.

Destroying legends

I call a friend and ask: “ Did you manage to pick up the phone during my pseudo-call last night?" He answers: " Yes, but the call was immediately dropped" As a result of further conversation, I understand that my friend called me last night, at a time when I was disconnected, and I propose to simulate yesterday’s situation. I turn off the phone, my friend dials me (at the moment the iPhone turns off) and we wait. And so they did. After a while, I turn on the iPhone, dial a friend to ask if he had something like this before, and at the time of our conversation, a second call arrives on the friend’s phone, it turns out that the same number is calling on the second line, but when I try to answer it there is a reset, tinny.

At the moment when my friend answered the second line, I received an SMS notification on my phone with the text that the subscriber called me when the phone was turned off or was out of reach. A pseudo-call to a friend and a notification came to me at the same time.

Having discarded the last three versions of this disease discussed on the forums, I decided to dig further and simulate similar situations with subscribers of other telecom operators in order to rule out the possibility of some kind of incompatibility between OPSOS. As a result of the experiments, it became clear that the pseudo-call also appears with other cellular operators, and not only in iPhone phones, but also in Samsung models and other phone models.

It turns out that this feature is at the service provider level mobile communications, this call seems to let you know that the subscriber is already online, but instead of the usual SMS notification, the operator imitates incoming call from a subscriber you once couldn’t get through to. Such an imitation of a call, at a minimum, is not attractive to subscribers, as it creates confusion.

Now the iPhone won't ring on its own

In order to disable this function, I called my cellular operator, who was able to fix this problem only by turning off the answering machine to which the forwarding took place; now my number does not call anyone on its own (or rather, the call does not imitate). But there is a small side effect - now when the iPhone is turned off or is out of network coverage, people calling me do not hear the pleasant voice of the answering machine, now they just short beeps. Perhaps in your case when similar situation disabling the “ They called you" or " In touch", need to try.

Six days ago a friend called me. He called at two o’clock in the morning and said, in a voice cracking with anger and some confusion: “Enough, stop being a fool!”
In response to my words that calling in the middle of the night is “fooling around,” he shouted, as it seemed to me, in a drunken voice: “Tell me that you didn’t call me, say that you didn’t agree!” Leave me alone!".
He hung up, and I felt something uneasy, as they say, “I felt bad.” Because it seemed that his voice was not trembling from alcohol. From horror.
I rushed to call him - he was busy. In a minute - busy. And in five minutes, and in two hundred. I was wondering if I should go and visit? I didn't go. Maybe that's why she's alive.
After midnight, Vadim received a call from his brother. The phone said: “I’m coming.” Already going". The brother could come at night, and Vadim, not very surprised, asked: “Where are you? You meet? Are you at the entrance?”, to which the caller replied: “At the entrance.” Vadim ran out into the entrance, went down to the first floor, and did not meet anyone. He conveyed this conversation to his brother when he called him with a complaint: “He said that he was at the entrance, so where are you?” The brother explained that he was at home. Vadim called him a joker, they quarreled a little.
Then the next call came.
Judging by the operator's printout, which was included in the file, the calls began at half past twelve in the morning and were accelerating - at first every 6 minutes, in the end - every 10 seconds. Friends, acquaintances and colleagues called - strictly in alphabetical order, without missing anyone from the phone book.
Naturally, none of us actually called him.
Vadim managed to call back those from whom the calls came first. From these conversations it became clear that each of the “callers” repeated the same phrase: “I’m coming. Already going".
How long did Vadim reassure himself that this was a joke? At what moment did he become mortally afraid - when the call came from the notary? Or when at half past three in the morning they “called” from a furniture showroom? By that time, the calls were going on almost continuously, making it impossible to reach anyone.
Last on the list under the letter “I” was his own number. The last call came from him.
They found him under the bed in the bedroom, wrapped in a blanket. His head was turned as if he was looking into the face of someone who was looking under the bed while standing on the threshold. All doors - from the entrance to the bedroom door - were wide open.
The police, who found him, were called by a neighbor grandmother who lived three floors above - at one o'clock in the morning a rustling man slowly walked past her apartment, walking so slowly that even half an hour later he was visible through the peephole of her apartment - only one flight of stairs had passed. From then on, she called every five minutes until she achieved her goal - the arriving cops, going up to her, saw Vadim’s door open.
I couldn’t clearly explain why it was the grandmother. And about the rustling, she claimed that she heard it from behind her locked door.
Officially, Vadim died of a heart attack. The case will be closed for lack of evidence of a crime. I have already destroyed my phone and deleted it from Skype computer. I bought earplugs, but they only make things worse - when you put them in, they rustle with every movement of your head.
