IPhone dialing by itself...
I've just had an incident: my iPhone just _dialed by itself_.
I just hung up with Apple support over the phone and the recommendation was to reset the phone.
The iPhone dialed my wife's cell phone. My wife's cell phone started ringing at 3:34 pm. I passed her the phone and it turns out my iPhone's the caller. I'm 10 feet away from my iPhone, pick it up and effectively, it's making a call to my wife's cell phone. Incidentally, it is the last phone number I dialed today before this call.
I have the 1.1.1 upgrade. Here at home I have a Linksys WRT54G with NAT, WPA2 and a strong password. I only accept Ethernet addresses that I know. (at work I only use EDGE to synchronize since we do not use wireless access for security reasons). I have Bluetooth enabled on the phone, paired with a Motorola HS820 but the HS820 is off.
I have my phone check up every hour for my email from GMail.
I love the phone, but I think that this is a very serious problem simply because I do not consider it to be a glitch. In case you wonder, I have not 'hacked' my phone--I'm pretty happy with what I have and I don't need to be tinkering with it.
I work as a telephony software architect for the 9-1-1 public safety market, and frankly, these are my concerns:
- Could there be a security issue?
- Could there be an OS bug?
I questioned the Apple rep to see if there was some kind of diagnostics that could be gathered from the phone, and his answer was that there weren't--at least not that he knew.
I would like to know from Apple if there's any similar postings--could not find any--or an idea as to what may have happened.
Regards.
