People You Know Who Make Silent Phonecalls To You.

[Caliga]

I make silent but deadly phonecalls.

Could also be a network glitch. Try rebooting the phone, especially if it's been on for months.

It happens to me, perhaps not frequently, but once in a while that I accidentally dial someone's number on my phone (this is of course always people I know as they are in my address book). Then it's several seconds of me frantically fumbling with the hang up button and hanging up.

It also happened to me that I would put the phone in my pocket and it would dial in someone (or vice versa, where I would hear someone just walking etc. for several seconds).

Are you sure this is not one of those cases?

He's fucking sure!! OK?!? Jesus!

[Zanza]

The only silent calls I have ever experienced where in conference calls and will usually end with "sorry, did not notice I was on mute."

Other than that I don't know any psychos that would make such a call.

Relax.

[Martinus]

Relax.

Don't do it.

Hmm, phone rings, but I'm cooking, something that can't be left, so the answer phone engages, nothing. The cellphone number than rings four or five times more, each time answered by the machine. Eventually I pick it up when it rings again, to silence, I eventually put it down.

So what was the point of all of that? There's no way I'm phoning the cellphone, don't recognise the number, and anyone who knows me, will know a message on the answer phone will get a return call from me.

So what was it, random marketing calls, foreign based stuff masquerading as a UK cellphone? Sad individual? Just goes to show landlines are becoming increasingly useless in the modern age.   

Not that a handful* of people have my cellphone number and it's never on anyway, know what if you want to contact me, email and you'll get a reply in 2-3 hours. Or in extremist, register with Languish and post/PM me.




*Three actually.

When I get those I assume it's a telemarketer and either the robocall didn't start the way it was supposed to or the human is busy talking to JaQuilla in the next booth.

TeQuilla would have been funnier.

It's a pity, something as simple as a fixed line to an address/home ends up being so bullshitized.

This'll disappoint CdM, but I might as well ditch the land-line for all the good it does. Alternative just unplug/bin the phones and only keep the line for the IDSL (or whatever broadband is know at in the US).
