Who's Calling? No one.

I drink approx. 2 gallons, (honest), of coffee a day. My vibrations aren't phantom.

I have a flip cell phone, which I keep in my left front pocket on manner mode (vibrate). Calls come and I answer them - legit calls. However, once in a while the phone will vibrate once, then nothing. I take the phone out to answer - but no one is there and no call has registered. I think this is nothing more than a hang-up by someone before the first ring has completed. Vic West http://www.vicweststocktrading.com

This is wild. It has been happening to me a lot in the last couple of months. The last two times I felt it, i was sitting on the couch and it felt like my phone was vibrating in my left pocket. I reached down to get it and realized that my phone was in my right pocket both times and it never rang. I ignored it the first couple of times, but the last few times it has happened , I started wondering if there was something wrong with me. I didn't know who to talk to or how to describe it so i kept it to myself.

I wonder if it is a phantom feeling or is ti the fact that we are carrying a very small very low wattage Microwave device at all times. We have to remember that the frequency range for these things is in the same frequency as our kitchen microwaves which we cook with. They are just a very low wattage. If we were to increase the wattage they would be just as deadly as a microwave oven.

Think about it for a minute. Microwave radiation is frequency not a special waveform or special device. Electromagnetic frequency! The phone is just a very low wattage. Kick it up to a thousand watts and watch what happens to life around it. Even your UHF TV stations are broadcasting on the microwave band. and all of the 2.4 Giga hertz phones and wireless devices attached to your computer. Microwaves all.

I think it is the muscle tissue responding to the microwave radition present from the phone and muscle tissue showing signs of injury anyway it can. When the heart muscle is injured it goes into spasms and that is what the phantom vibration is apparently. I say this because I never use my phone on vibrate and I have these vibrations in the 3 spots I carry my phone. left waist, right waist, and left breast pocket. After I stopped carrying it in my breast pocket the feeling went away from there. now I have the vibrations only on the left waist band where I carry my phone.

I get "phantom vibration" often.

My hypothesis is that when I move a certain way, the fabric of my pocket is stretched over my phone, and kind of "squeaks" across it. This produces a real vibration.

I think (for me at least), this is the simplest explanation and doesn't require a lot of neuroscience.

The experimental evidence in favor of this theory is: I *never* get phantom vibration when my pocket is empty. It sometimes happens when my wallet is in there. But it never happens when it's just my keys in the pocket.

It seems like a natural reflex to me. A lot of time, I find myself missing calls, even when the phone is on vibrate in my pocket. It usually occurs around a lot of commotion or if I'm deep in my thoughts, which cause me to check the phone a lot; habit that might have led to the spastic feeling of a buzzing dial. It might just be the second solution. From a cause of a need of constant learning and refinement of the body's neuroscientific system.

After talking to 2 other workers with the same problem, I wasn't suprised to hear that several other people on the internet are experiencing similar situations.

I've carried 3 different cell phones in my right pocket with the vibration feature turned on for more than 3 years.

5 days ago my right leg (at the exact location where my phone sits) began to vibrate and cause me to think my phone was ringing. The vibration pulse is nearly identical to the pulse of my phone. After moving my phone to my left pocket no change has occured. The vibration is there ALL DAY as long as I'm awake. I suspect that it may happen in my sleep since I notice it until I'm asleep and immediately as I wake.

The vibration level is lighter than my phone but still very annoying. There is no pain but during the first 2 days my chins were extremely sore the whole day. I can't recall any extra stress to any part of my legs recently and my job requires that I walk a lot and I don't exercise much.

The phone I've been using since Feb. 2007 is a samsung with bluetooth. I've not paid any attention to the bluetooth feature being turned on or off.
