IPhone 4s called random stranger by itself

I have an iPhone 4s and this morning I received a text and then a phone call from a stranger, claiming that I had called her. I had been sleeping up until she called me, so obviously I hadn't made any calls. She sent me a screencap of her call log, and it showed my number having called her, but I checked my own call log and it didn't show her number at all. I've never seen her number before, and I really did not make the call. And no one else could have used my phone to make that call. Does anyone know what's going on? Has this happened to anyone else? And is there a way to prevent it from happening again? I really don't want my phone to be calling complete strangers without my knowledge..

Hi, Hmm this is extremely wierd... Okay can you review that pic and check your number? If there is A blur behind the writing it is edited.

  • My iphone keeps calling my mom by itself immediately after I finish a call with someone else... why?

    Just as the question states, every time I hang up the phone with someone, it IMMEDIATELY dials my mom, but it doesn't show that there is a call in place or show that it is dialing. It has NO indication that my phone is calling someone. It just does it by itself, no sign  of the call. I could be typing an email on my phone without any hint that a phone call is taking place, but my mom will then call me back and say she could hear me on the other line, and that she was talking back yet I couldn't hear her at all.
    The weirder part is that this ONLY happens with my mom's phone number and my phone. And it's always MY phone calling her, never the other way around. Even if I was talking to her on her phone and hung up, it will STILL call her back right afterwards.
    I have an iphone 4S, up-to-date with iOS 7.1
    I recently had to wipe and reinstall everything onto my phone because I plugged it in to my computer and tried to update it, but it stopped at the very end up the update and said it had failed then wouldn't leave the progress screen, so I restored my phone, but this was happening even before that was going on.
    I'm getting really sick of this and I'm getting tired of iphone problems. Can someone help? Thanks.

    Sounds like you need to do some basic user troubleshooting, starting with a reset:
    Double-tap your home button and start swiping up on your app windows (the larger windows) to close them out completely. Once they're all closed out, hold down the home button and the power button together until the screen blacks out and the Apple logo shows up on the screen, then let go. This will reboot your phone and will not cause any data loss. Let me know how the phone behaves after this.

  • My iPhone just called itself randomly..has this happened to anyone else?

    My iPhone just called itself randomly..has this happened to anyone else? when i picked up it said it was some national credit thing and said my debit card has been temporaly block....funny thing is..... i dont have a debit card with that company and i just recently got this new number (3 days from this post)

  • My Iphone 4 32GB started having this issue when I downloaded the 2 last 6.1.X... VOICE CONTROL pops-up even when I sleep and calls random people just by the sound of the snoring... in FACETIME even more annoying. I confirm that it does this day and night

    Turn off Voice Control.
    Otherwise, basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • Hi, I have an iPhone 4 which rings people when it is locked, whether or not in my pocket.  I always lock it when not using it.  Can anyone help? It is calling random numbers, not the last person or anyone even recently called on my recents list. Thanks

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Why would wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am?

    Why would my wifes iPhone 5 start randome calls at 3:00 am? My wifes phone called my mother, me & one oher clients. When it called i hung it up went th go check on her & and the grandbaby in the other room. They were both out like a light. Looked at her phone and it was moving and selected another number and started to call it. I hung it up and turned it off. Funny thing is her phone was passcode protected.
    Any clues on this?

    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
    If not, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

  • My iphone 5 has been calling random people...

    So my iphone 5 has been calling random people (not in my contact lists). There is no history of it on my phone records when I called Verizon. It happened the first time in January (2013) on my iphone 4, but I had a phone upgrade, so I just got that. How can I make it stop? Or how can I figure out if I have a bug/virus on my phone? Maybe from a specific app?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • HT1430 Since my iPhone 5 fails to accept calls randomly how is I am supposed to know that I missed a call and I know I need to reboot.  This "solution" is worthless.

    Since my iPhone 5 fails to accept calls randomly how is I am supposed to know that I missed a call and I know I need to reboot.  This "solution" is worthless.

    Standard steps from the user guide are to restart, reset then restore if necessary.
    Have you done those?

  • My Iphone 4 keeps trying to turn itself off and also takes random screen shots.  I think it might have something to do with the Sleep/Awake button but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My Iphone is constantly trying to turn itself off and also taking screen shots when I'm not touching it.  I think it may have something to do with the Sleep button but would welcome any suggestions. I have already restored it to Factory settings but it didn't help.
    Thanks,

  • HT201401 How to stop iphone from calling people randomly day and night

    My phone keeps going to voice control and calling random people nigh ad day ań idk how to fix this can u guys plz help me

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Remove apps from the Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    2. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    3. Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    4. Restore with your backup.
    5. Restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • FaceTime and iphone cellular calls not working

    I have upgraded to OSX Yosemite and iPhone to iOS 8.1. Before upgrading to iOS 8.1 the option of checking iPhone cellular calls in both mac and iPhone FaceTime was coming, but now that option itself isn't available. What is the solution and possible region?

    This seems to have stopped working on my iPhone/Mac, too. Anyone else having this issue since the last update?

  • My iphone4 is calling and typing by itself, my iphone4 is calling and typing by itself, my iphone4 is calling and typing by itself

    iphone 4 is calling and deleting by itself after screen change please help!!!!!!!

    Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.
    Has any of this been tried?
    Since Apple does not replace screens, I can only conclude that this was done by yourself or an unauthorized repair center.  It is possible that something was not connected correctly.         

  • Iphone keeps restarting randomly

    When i use my iphone sometime it randomly has to reboot or restart. This is very annoying because it takes about 30 seconds to reboot and also because i will miss my calls and messages. Does anyone know why this has started happening and how i can fix it?

    Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
