I know exactly what they're talking about.  It actually happened to me today.  It's happened many times in the past.  I never said anything to anyone about it because I didn't want them to think I was crazy.  Now I know I'm not alone..........]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[DHG]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2007 8:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have also had that experience, 5 or 6 times.  But although the first couple of times felt like my cell phone was vibrating in my pocket, I have since had a couple of big "buzzes" at other places on my torso. ??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kate]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2007 9:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[I feel the vibration both when I have my cell phone and even when I don't.

My phone vibrated in my pocket last week and it was because somehow a button got pushed that set it on vibrate (which I never do), and that's what it did when the change took place.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ariel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2007 10:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[I lost my cell phone a week ago, and didn't have a phone for the week, but felt the vibration on my hip several times after the loss.

I used to carry me cell phone at work. I noticed that it wasn't actually the feeling of or the cell phone vibrating. It was this strange vibrating in my body, even when i didn't havethe ceel phone on me. I thought it was my imagination.  I stopped  awhile ago having it hang on my hip. I didn't like the feeling of the vibration or what it possinly could be doing to my body within.  Very scary!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Helen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2007 10:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[OH MY! I am so happy that I am not crazy! I get that all the time and it is alway where i carry my phone! My husband and I always laugh about it. He gets it but not nearly as often!

I have never mentioned it to anyone because I could not explain it and I'm a doctor. Good to know others feel the same thing!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roy H.

I think it's just the buttons or something rubbing against my pocket making it feel like my phone is going off though. That seems like a pretty good explanation considering I don't have a "flip-phone" and all of the buttons protrude.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mikki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2007 12:44AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[This always happens to me, too. I always thought it was strange. My friend and I always talk about the strange "phantom vibrations", and when she saw this article, she sent it to me. I think there should be some studies done about this. They may give insight into other human habits, too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 11:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[HA!

It is the only pocket that I put it in if I am carrying it on my person. The phone is a flip type so no buttons touch my body. This "phantom" vibe feels exactly like the "real" vibe does when it, (the phone), goes off for real. This sensation only occurs in this one spot on my upper thigh, right where the phone would have been, had I put it in my pocket instead of my purse. I buy into the phantom limb explanation, in that "that" nerve ending has learned to respond to the real, "phone working" vibe, so whether the phone is in that pocket or not, the "Phantom" vibe occurrs with frequent regularity. Thanks for taking me out of the "Twilight Zone".     ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jean Goldfarb, R,N.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2007 2:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[Gee...personally, I'm wondering these particular scientists in the article might be getting a little ahead of themselves here.  Are they absolutely certain that there's no technological basis for these vibrations?  Like...are they sure that we're not feeling these phones sending out or receiving signals as they sync with cell phone towers, as an example, or otherwise working away at some task or another while they're sitting in our pockets?  I'd want to figure out the answer to that first before being so quick to wonder if phantom vibrations are simply mind games.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Trisha]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2007 9:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/06/15/whos-calling-no-one/</guid><description><![CDATA[Phantom vibration like from the cell phone...yeah, I got those. I wear my cell phone on my belt, and these spirious vibrations I'd feel bothered me for awhile til I realized what I was feeling was just a little gas rolling around the ol gut. Normally, I wouldn't pay attention to it, except that the sensation is suprisingly similar to the vibrate on my cell phone.<br>Good luck with your research... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jc]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 19th 2007 3:17AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
