Blackberry malfunction--why is my phone dialing itself (and it actually rings as if it is a caller calling in but my Cell number shows)

two weeks ago my Blackberry did something quite strange
without any person nearby or pushing any buttons the phone rang--I looked to see who it was, and it said my full name and it displayed my full cell number.
I did not answer it. It rang the full number of rings, then the phone stopped, there was no message left. I called my network Customer service and they could not explain this, except to ask me if I use Bluetooth. I do not and it is not enabled on my phone.
It happened again today, with no person nearby who could have pushed any buttons.
Do I have a virus?  I have had Blackberry models for years, and never had this happen to any handset.
I do not download/upload anything except Blackberry updates.
I also never dial my own number to access voicemail, I jsut dial 123 for Vmail.
So can anyone explain this?  Much appreciated.

The phone doesn't hav a virus, but that is strange.
Do a battery pull first.
Do you have yourself as a contact?  if so, delete your info for a bit to see what happens if this call happens again.
if this happens again, I recommend you answer to see who is calling.  That way its logged with the carrier so they can do some investigation, trace, etc.

  • Why did my library duplicate itself and how do I remove it?

    Why did my library duplicate itself and how do i remove them?

    An iTunes manual? It is supposed to be so intuitive you don't need a manual.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/
    Most people don't have issues, but most people posting here do, obviously, why else would they come?
    With regards to the way iTunes works (when it is working as it is supposed to) if you use the software the way the designers expected you to it all works out OK. The problems start with those of us who think things should work slightly differently and get then confused with the results. At that point you either have to learn to work the way the program expects you to, or work around it. I encourage people to do work with it, as is easier, but in practice I write scripts to enforce my will on iTunes.

    If the photos and video are not on the phone or in a backup, then there isn't anything you can do.

  • Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

    Why when I go to garageband and make a ring tone then try to sync it, It says all existing songs, movies and tv shows will be removed?

    Oh ok. As far as music, no i have not synced music because it would load so much. I don't have movies or tv. I have never loaded ringtones before. So i am guessing they are connected to music. My apps do sync. So the best thing is to not sync and just drop them on my devices icon???
    oh, if I check sync music the button for entire music library is selected how do I get Selected playlist, artists, ect. selected. Right now everthing is grayed out.

  • Phone dialing itself

    Hello,
    I am using 5800 XM. I just found out that my cell phone is dialing itself out in data type. It dials in the sequence of 22, 922 and 822. I notice it because it was making the same sound as if i dial to a number that is unreachable. When i check the call log, and thats how i found out the string of the data call. My cell phone did that whole string of data calls for three times. Anyone knows what causes that? Is it possible virus?

    You have no virus because there are virtually no viruses for the S60 platform, and you'd have to have allowed one to be activated if one did turn up - they can't install themselves without your consent as they can in Windows.
    Firstly, could it be as simple as you don't have the automatic lock on so the screen is being touched?
    Otherwise, check Packet Data settings under Connectivity - make sure that your packet data connection is set to 'when needed' rather than 'when available'.
    Also check if any apps are running in the background - hold down the menu key and a list of running apps will be shown, perhaps a piece of software that you are using is accessing the internet?

  • IPhone 5S lost voicemail and when I tap vm icon the phone diales voicemail and gets busy signal.  No other options show.

    iPhone 5S lost voice mail and when I tap vm icon the phone dials voice mail and gets busy signal.  No other options show.
    started yesterday.  No voice mail at all.  When I tap the voice mail icon the phone immediately dials some number and that number rings busy.  I can't select anything else.   Using Virgin mobile/  I am stumped.
    I have already tried a soft boot... power and home button....
    Help!

    Other than changing the SIM card, you don't mention any troubleshooting you did with your phone.
    If you haven't already, try the following steps as needed:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Setting.
    Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    Restore in iTunes as a new iPhone
    IF the last step doesn't fix it, there is a hardware problem and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar. The fact that you haven't dropped the phone by no means rules out hardware issues.

    Your description suggests that your MBP had a kernel panic:

  • TS1538 I just bought an iphone 4 at the flee market. He said all i needed was a charger. but thats not the case. all it will do is say phone is disabled. and the only other option i have is emergcy calls. what do i do? pls help

    How can i factory reset my iphone 4??? I bought it used. And I can't do anything other than emergcy calls. Pls help

    You can force the phone into recovery mode, & restore it, as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    However, if locked with a passcode, I suspect you purchased a stolen phone. If this phone is running iOS 7.0 or higher, you will never be able to use it for anything other than as a paperweight...you wasted your money.

  • Why does the phone dial pad disappear when my finger gets near the screen?

    Phone problem - the touch dialpad works for the primary number called, but goes blank as soon as my finger gets near the screen when I try to enter an extension number. Air Gesture, Motion, and Palm Motion are all turned off. Why does this happen? How can I correct it?

  • My phone only vibrates and doesn't ring why

    I have tried to reset didn't work. I put "everyone on Do not disturb so that should'nt be the problem. Can anyone else think of what I need to do. The sounds work on my phone I checked. So I don't understand why it doesnt ring and only vibrates for phone calls and text. Very frustrated!

    Check the Mute/Silent Switch on the Side.
    Goto... Settings > Sounds and check.
    Also check Notifications.

  • Help - why does my iPod erase itself and refuse to charge?

    I have a click wheel iPod. I just sent in for a new battery in January, and the replacement is now experiencing the same problems I had with my old iPod. It worked fine for the first month or so, but then it wouldn't charge. I could hear it power up, but then die. The screen looped between the exclamation point and a low battery picture, even when it was plugged into the computer or the wall.
    Today I tried one last time before I called support, and it finally started charging. It had completely erased itself, though. These symptoms are similar to what happened on my first iPod. Anyone know what is going on with my iPod? Thanks!
    iPod   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Try resetting the iPod.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can also try another cable and usb port.
