Phantom Phone Calls

Have you ever felt a Phantom Phone Call?

I carry my cell phone in my pocket. Back in the day I used to have a case that fit nicely on my belt. That was when cell phones were the size of VCR's and they didn't fit into pockets. Today my cell phone is so small I don't notice it's there.

I keep my cell on vibrate because I don't want to disturb others.

Sometimes I feel my phone vibrate and I pull out my phone to see...nothing. That my friends is a phantom phone call. It happens to me on a weekly basis. It is the feeling of a vibrating phone letting you know you are getting a call, but in reality it's nothing at all.

Does this happen to anyone else?

  1. Sadly, yes. This happens to me at least a couple of times per week. I feel a tingling in my hip, whip out my phone, and nada, zip, zilch. What a let down.

  2. spooky!

    I carry my phone in my purse, so no random vibrations here. But I have had a phantom ring happen on my phone before... turned out to be a "restricted" number. The preset ring tone for "restricted" was REALLY creepy though, and freaked me out! So I feel your pain.

  4. yes this happens to me. I also hallucinate the ringing of my phone. sometimes I can blame it on the radio, but not always. Phantom phone calls, ringing or vibrating, make me wonder if in fact, I am loosing my mind. Glad to hear it isn't just me.

  7. Yes! I keep mine clipped to my belt and have it on ring and vibrate. But sometimes I feel the vibration only to find nobody calling. Spooky!

  8. Hey- just wanted you to know that Matt and I created our own band on Rockband last night and his character's name is Robshep.com and he is a large muscly black male with long white hair, a trucker hat, and lots of white facial hair. You should see him- he's pretty rockin! :-)

  9. I get the ring more than the vibrate, but I get both. Sometimes I don't even have my phone. I'd like to say it's the radio, but it happens equally as much when I have the radio off. Sometimes, I call random people when it happens and say I'm returning their call... It's awesome when you can get them to think they're the crazy one.
