Phantom Phone Vibration

[Sprayber]

For those of you who have a cell phone and carry it in your pocket, have you ever swore you felt your phone ring only to look at it and see that it had not. Anyone else suffer from this on occasion or is this just the first stages of my insantity?

[Whaleboy]

I've had that plenty of times - usually when both driving (a source of vibration and frustration since I can't pick up) and expecting a call.

[LordShiva]

Yes

[Dauphin]

I've sworn I've felt my phone ringing only to find it isn't even in my pocket.

According to a recent TV documentary I've seen, phantom phone vibrations preclude a visit from Death himself... Wait, maybe that was a TV ad.

[BlackCat]

Can't say that I have - it's always turned off unless I want to call someone.

In my humble opinion, you're all crazy for having a cell phone to begin with.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, that does happen now and again, especially when I am driving and I get a slight vibration from something at a particular speed.

Had that happen the other day. I forgot it in the truck when I went in to work and I swore I felt it against my leg. Thought it was only me

I don't have my phone on vibrate. I used to experience phantom pager, however.

ACK!

For most of my life, I would have agreed with you but I've grown partial to my cell. I spend a lot of time screening calls when those who know me, know damn well it's always with me.

I get cell phone vibrations every time I see Charlize Theron, and I don't even own a cell phone.

Feeling a phantom vibration is Phase One.
Posting about it is Phase Two...

You're right on schedule.

That was me, actually. When I meet new people I often feel up their legs. It's why I've been to prison five times but I'm going to keep trying until it's socially acceptable.

I have been using cell phones as a manager for some 21 years now, of course when i started they were this humongus car phone, not a hand held like nowadays.

I have been carrying a cell phone on my hip for maybe 12 years, and it is something I experience a lot, with or without phone attached to my hip, vibrating sensation.

I often wonder is it is causing a problem medically or not, but not so much I obsess about it.

I have to carry 2 cell phones, one is my "hotline" to shops since I have charge over 6 plants worth of equipment, approx 70 pieces of equipment, so I can set a response up should one be needed.

the other is for all else.

It wouldnt bother me if we were not allowed them, seriously, but in todays culture, it has become one of those necessary evil's.


I spend a lot of time on road, covering parts of 6 counties, so yes, it certainly is a valuable tool.

I have resisted upgrading to a Blackberry, I am fortunatly one of the last holdouts, however, when this phone dies, that will be next
