Crazy Phone Happenings...
Discussion
Folks,
The strangest thing happened yesterday. I sent a picture from my phone to a mates phone. He got the picture, and saw the number it had been sent from. He phoned back, expecting to talk to me, and was answered by someone who had never heard of me. I've checked his phone since, and the number is completely different. I've never seen or heard of this person. However, they had stated they live round the same area as me. Thinking this very strange and possibly a scam, i phoned t mobile and they state that this is "impossible"!! Whatever number the picture states it was sent from has to be correct apparently. I tried explaining that i wasn't lying, but they'd have none of it....
Has anyone ever heard of this before? I'm considering cancelling my contract with t mobile. To be told that something which you know has happened is "impossible" is quite insulting.
Oh and before anyone asks, it was only a photo of a car!!! PLEASE someone offer me an explanation???!!!

Hollywood Wheels said:Not really, just hijacking the thread a little, but I have had two incidents where the 'impossible' has happened, and it was indeed impossible, so anyone saying it was impossible would have been correct in arguing against me, and I was correct in saying it had happened, we were both right.
To be told that something which you know has happened is "impossible" is quite insulting.
Example 1. We had satellite TV in our motorhome, stopped at a campsite, tuned in the TV for regular terrestrial TV, but also tuned into all the SKY satellite channels too. Only thing was, the receiver and dish had not been connected to the TV, the dish was face down on the luggage rack on the roof.
Example 2. Picked up a radio station playing piano music in the cab of a Fiat Ducato. But the radio was switched off. I pulled the unit out of the dash and disconnected all the wires. Still the piano music played on.
If I had rung up SKY or the radio station and explained what had happened, they would have told me it was impossible, and they would have been correct. Not insulting at all.
Both things did happen though, and I later found out how.
Could be a bug in the software on his phone, or a network glitch. I wouldn’t do anything drastic - just keep an eye on your bills. What you have to remember with the people on the end of the phone (especially relevant where carshitewarehouse is concerned) - they are not technical people. Yes they know what the latest phone is and they may know what GSM stands for but that’s about it.

Very simple, it an echo on the SIM security triangle caused by electromagnetic IFR overflow on the SIM reading overlay recognition applied comunication software. Chances are it was sourced from a designated communication loop used to double the SIM memory function at one of the local AST transmitters based on a resonating low frequency transmission IR exchange. If this local frequency is sourced at a similar IR to the 4820 transmission sequence then clearly there could be double receptions transmitted from the regional 4810 signal receiver. The SIM security software (on the phone) sometimes reacts to the 4810 encryption codes and follows the original resonance programming codes, which default to the original settings. The original settings may have binary adjusters which correspond to another communication device set-up with a 4830 sequence divider. Therein lies the problem!

As a teenager I used to be able to pickup whatever the next-door neighbours were watching on sky (presumably from the RF output being routed around the house)... They always used to watch star trek

You missed out the effect of the rotism transdeucer

And you are going to share the explanation?...
The campsite had a clubhouse with satellite telly, it was connected to a transmitter that routed the signal to any other TV's in the building, much like wi-fi for the internet today. As our pitch was next to the clubhouse, our telly was able to tune in.
The metal bulkhead of the Ducato was turning the radio signal into sound, I dont know how this works or what the phenomonon is called, but apparently the flat panels on large white goods in the home used to do this too.
I have had this happen to me. Dont panic your not the only one!!!!
About 2 weeks ago a mate sent me a picture message. I spoke to him later and asked who's phone he sent that from as I didnt reconise the number. He said he sent it from his phone!! We dont have a clue who's number it was!
HTH
Fcuk know s how it happened. Like you I would be intrested to know.
