Getting random calls and texts (as frequent as once a minute) on an iphone (AT&T). Extremely obnoxious and annoying. The texts just say "you called my phone" or "busy now, will text later," and stuff like that. When the "caller" leaves vms, it actually sounds like brief pocket dials. ambient noise and whatnot.

anybody experienced this? Weird as frick.

before anybody asks, I don't look at porn, so it's not from viewing shady websites.

iphones can do some weird shite. Happened to me. Had to get an android so I'd stop texting the wrong person.

yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoever downvoted the OP, wtf?

I just talked to two of the dudes. The call came in from my number, and caller ID showed my name.

I think we are wiping this phone now with no delay.

Two months ago, I saw a provocative movie on cable TV. It was called The Net, with that girl from the bus. I did a little reading, and I realize, it wasn't that far fetched.
