My mate Barbara is the first entry in my phone book. I used to phone her all the time from my handbook on my old Nokia, if I forgot to put it into sleep mode.

I never have any credits on my mobile.It's always on if people want to phone me though.Not that anyone ever does!! Pete you can phone me if you want.I can listen to shuffling sounds!!

Aaahhh - you sound like Robbie no mates. I'll phone you next week when you're in Oldbury

Hubby is always doing it. He has such a mobile bottom, he even manages to send texts, when the phone is in his back pocket. He's somehow sent a text to our landline. If you have ever had one of those, with the computer voice, they are funny enough if it's a sensible message but hysterical when it's gibberish.

If your phone has voice recognition and you have it in your pocket, does it correctly interpret you passing wind as "Please ring Mother In Law" ???

Thankfully Hubby's doesn't have that facility.

My nephew got hold of his mother's phone when he was only a toddler, who does he ring, only the most expensive number (me being in Denmark, them in the UK). This is a few years ago, and the mobile in question was one of those folding jobbies, with no way to lock it as once it's folded the buttons are out of the way. Course the young man didn't say anything, but as we've got caller id I could see whose number it was.
I rang their fast net number and asked my sister what her son was up to, "he's playing quietly in the living room" was the reply!
Like mother like son, you'd think she'd have known that if he was quiet you should be worried!

My Grandson, who was only just 2 years old at the time, is a dreadful sleeper and yet again had come into bed with his Mum around 5 in the morning (Dad was away at sea) She went back to sleep, thinking he had also. He hadn't! He picked up her I Phone, managed to take a photo of the bedroom and post it on Facebook.

My daughter, when she was about 3 years old rang someone on our landline. I heard her talking and thinking it was an incoming call, managed to get the phone away from her. The guy on the other phone said he was in America and that we had rung him.

I got BT to check the call, it was in fact in Ohio and she had been talking away to him for about 5 minutes.

Lock on the phone after that
