My iphone 4 is calling random numbers
My iPhone 4 is dialling random numbers on its own.
I looked down at my phone when i thought it was locked + it was dialling this random number and then stopped.
The number appeared in my recent calls list and it is a completely random number; not from my contacts or even similar to any unsaved numbers in my recent calls.
In addition, this follows a couple of recent cases of possible pocket dialling of my contacts. Which I thought would be impossible cause i keep my phone locked with a passcode.
How did this happen?
Okay, I have no idea how to delete this, but if this ever happens to someone else, don't share your apple ID with younger siblings. Turns out I was watching their conversations... bit creepy lol

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. -
Phone is malfunctioning, voice command comes on and calls random numbers or plays Ipod
Phone is malfunctioning, voice command comes on and calls random numbers or plays Ipod
Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset
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.
- Restoring from backup
- Restoring to factory defaults/new iPod
Are you using the headphone/mic? If so sometimes sweat/moisture in the controls can make the iPod do strange things.
What number are you looking for?
If les than a year old, the Apple warranty still covers it. -
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.

IPhone is randomly calling different numbers
Hi,
I am extremely unhappy with iOS7 - the worst Mobile Operating System ever!
I was iPhone costumer since day 1, i had 2 iPhones before and the old iOS version were pretty good and made the device handy.
But now, after "upgrading" to iOS7 its nearly useless - It has often freezes, does not respond on touchscreen-events, its extremely slow etc.
BUT the following bug is an absolute no-go:
When I try to call someone using the recent call list, sometimes the iPhone just calls someone from the list by random!
E.g. I try to call "Parents", the display shows: "Calling Parents..." but on the phone is my Boss and so on.
This is a serious issue!
I was loosing a Hotel reservation because of that, the wrong reception was in the line and could not recognize this?!
The next thing is this ugly cheap Apple-Maps-App. When I search for a resturant or hotel, the popup comes up and instantly calls the number and I have no chance to end this call, because the Touchscreen does no respond. So annoying!
My iPhone 4 has no jailbreak, I also set it back to factory defaults and reinstalled everything, but no effect. I even tried to downgrade to iOS6 but seems there is no chance.
I can´t imagine that I am the only one with such iPhone problems. Maybe someone knows a workaround or knows how to contact Apple (they want 35 EUR from me for contacting the support, ***?!)Try resetting it: Hold the home butting + lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

How do you call 0900 numbers on iphone?
how do you call 0900 numbers on iphone? it keeps saying that i cant call it- is there a code or anything?
im on vodafone
thanksthanks for the advice both
ive noticed though that sometimes companies provide a cheaper alternative to an 0900 number as in 8***** or something - if this makes any sense? but even those numbers are still blocked??? -
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). -
IPhone 4 does not recognize caller phone numbers
In my address book (sync with Outlook) i store phone numbers only in full world standard like this
+996 543 918243 - Kyrgyzstan
+7 945 6752345 - russia
+66 834 7653472 - thailand
and on and on...
I travel a lot. And when I am in kyrgyzstan i can call to full numbers mo problem, but when I get incoming call the number in detected as
0 543 918243
instead of
+996 543 918243
It trims country code. And this caller is not recognized in my address book. I would change all phones in address book to this format if it is only the case. But then I'll have another case that i cannot call those numbers from other countries and those numbers nor recognizable in other countries too.
Before iPhone I had Sonyericsson Xperia x1. i know iPhone s much better, they are not even comparable but this small feature was there. It recognized all the numbers correctly.
Is it possible that you implement this tiny but very helpfull feature in next iOS update?I have noticed similar fenomenon.
I might have a contact stored as 040123456, but due to telephone operator when they dial me they show up as 00040123456, two leading 00's.
Iphone won't recognize this. -

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... -
Bips and random numbers while making calls
When talking on the phone (iPhone 4 with iOS 6) I get beeping noises and random numbers generated at the top of the screen. Has anyone else encountered this? HELP!
I'm having the same issue and it has just started after the recent OS update. I have a 5S. Hope there is a fix, as it is terribly annoying.

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? -
Dead air calls on random numbers
Hi,
We are experiencing random dead air calls to a specific entry(Invalid/no input) on a call flow. We have a flow which has CED which contains around 6 cases excluding invalid input/Timeout flow in ICM Script. Of those CED 5 and Invalid input/timeout will make a transfer to a Hunt group for same extension.
So if any body press 5/invalid input they will get transferred to a same extension which is configured as hunt group in cucm. The challenge here is we are getting a dead air calls randomly only to the invalid entry not other entry which is doing the same call treatment with same extension.
Any advise to fix this would be much helpfull..Hello stufaro, let's solve this mystery! It sounds like someone has activated call forwarding on their phone and have accidentally made the calls route to your number instead of to another line if they input the number incorrectly. I'm sorry to say that only the other user can deactivate the call forwarding from their phone. The next best solution would indeed be to change your number if the calls are frequent.
