When was the last time you butt dialed someone

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

Yes I am asking just wondering with today's technology how that's possible I have to search my phone for the app to dial out my aunt can still but dial me on a weekly basis I just thought that went away with smart phones

I have never butt dialed anyone.
I have been butt dialed. We have a mix of Android and iPhones as our company phones, and iPhones are the only ones I have been butt dialed from, HOWEVER one of the phones was sitting next to me when it dialed me, laying on a desk. Our IT guys discovered that this can be an issue with iPhones if they are not powered off for a long time (as in weeks). Doing a power down and back up fixed the issue.

Really because I have a iPhone and it takes a lot for me to dial someone but I well admit it's even harder to make a call from a android phone I know cause dh has one

I have never butt dialled because if I'm home, my phone is next to me and if I'm out my phone stays in my purse. I have been butt dialled by my dad and my husband.

I don't recall ever butt dialing anyone, but my first phone used to call people all on it's own without ever touching it. It would be sitting on my bedside table and I would suddenly here someone saying "Hello?" over and over again. It was creepy.

That is creepy what phone did you have if I may ask

I don't quite remember. I know it was one of those 'pay-as-you-go' phones. When it first happened, I thought it was a weird fluke. Then it kept happening and I tried to tell my mom, she didn't believe me until I she borrowed my phone for a day and it happened to her.

After that she got me a new one. I never had that problem again. I swear that phone was possessed.

I had a trac phone which is a pay as you go phone it was when I was in between phones long story but never had that happen to me

But if my phone ever calls any one like that I will be calling my phone company and asking what is up

I don't think I've ever butt dialed anyone, but dh and dd have both butt dialed me. Well actually, dd's phone was in her purse, so I guess that would be a purse dial. Lol

Mystery solved my cousin wanted to say hi but got shy at the last minute I think it's cute dh not so much

Having passwords makes it harder to butt dial.

How many have been successful at butt dialing their password?

Thank you my mom has been trying to get my aunt to put a pw on her phone all summer

I may not have butt dialed..... but I have wrongly "voice dialed" people while driving. I try to call one person and it dials another. It's worse as your contact list grows.

I don't really butt dial but I certainly butt take pictures. Just yesterday I took about 15 pictures of the inside of my back pocket

I haven't butt dialed anyone in years (I have an iPhone) but my fiancé does it all the time. He has a Samsung and when he forgets to exit out of the messaging app before locking his phone it has a tendency to call the last person he sent a text to. He butt dialed my phone while I was at work once and by the time he figured out what his phone was doing I had a 15 minute message on my VM of him talking to bank tellers.

Glad you brought this up, I have to laugh. I had to get up twice to answer the phone and it was dear husband and he had no clue he called me. And here I was yelling at him and he could not hear me.....and he has a iphone

I accidentally dialed 911 from my watch a couple of months ago. The Apple Watch has a feature where you do an emergency dial of 911 from your watch by pressing on it in a certain way, and I accidentally did it as I was walking into our house laden with my briefcase, lunchbox, and a million other things. I immediately realized and disconnected the call before I thought it had connected, but the dispatcher ended up calling the house and a policeman came to the house just to check anyway. I was so embarrassed (and annoyed at myself for wasting the policeman's time), but they were very nice about it. I had my DH disable that feature right away!

I think maybe I've butt-dialed someone once in the last 5 years?

Not for years. I am in the habit of locking my phone before I put it in my pocket. It also has password/Touch ID enabled. I do not have "Hey Siri" enabled because there is the potential of saying someone's name and Siri dialing them up. Voice dictation is also off. My DD had a problem with accidentally sending people voice messages when she would say their name with this on. It would take a LOT of weird, unlikely combinations that could never be repeated for me to accidentally "butt dial" someone.

I have never done that. My phone is either on a table/stand in the house in either the family room, kitchen, or bedroom or it's in my purse. And it has to be unlocked before you can do anything with it.
