Weird things happening :s

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone knows why this has happened or if its happened to you before.

My phone was on silent yesterday, my mum called but I didn't hear it. So she called my husband and he passed the phone to me, mum said when she called my phone two people were in the middle of having a conversation but they couldn't hear her.

On my phone I have a voicemail from my mum and its the 2 people my mum heard. Can't hear my mum. Just 2 women having an argument. (Lol) one of the women is clearer than the other. They sound local too. The icon telling me I have a voicemail Won't go either.

Also on Friday my husband noticed he had a new voicemail from his dad so he listened to it, it was a voicemail of the conversation he and his dad had had earlier in the day. Could only hear his dad talking.

What's going on? Our phones don't seem very private anymore.

That's a really weird one and something I haven't heard of before. As Adam says speak to customer service.

Hi, I called O2 this morning and they said they are aware of this problem, they said its been happening for a few days and they are trying to sort it out. Must have happened to other people too.

It isn't someting I have experienced but looking at the post above your own perhaps you need to report it to customer service.

This is taken from the martin Lewis money saving expert site.

 

This happened to me and the other half on Friday - I got enough info from the guy I could hear to change anything on his insurance policy.

Apparently my other half got the other side of the same conversation I had, I tweeted o2 and they ignored me.

Can't say I am impressed. To be honest o2 are gone at the end of the contract, too many problems...

 

 

Now i just rang O2 and they said they are aware of this cross lining they called it and they are trying to fix it but have no time scale as to when its going to be fixed. I think this is ridiculous you could be giving out bank info or something like that and someone hears all of your convo. sorry O2 but this is not on. Look at the post above, the lady there got enough info to change a guys insurance. Security breach or what?:manmad:

This is a very rare problem but cross talk has been around as long as the telephone.

 

This is likely to happen on any network so good luck with finding the perfect one as it doesn't exist.

I was not the one that said i wasnt impressed with O2, that was a person from another website i took the post from. But tbh, no i am not impressed with them, this has been going on for days, peoples private convos being heard all over the place. And what about security? like the woman who heard all the guys insurance details?
