Holy moly! My cell just called itself! It showed my number and it said Incoming Voicemail! So, I don't know if I should I have, I picked up and didn't say anything and it seemed like the sound on the "other side" was where I was at.

Think someone needs to go to bed earlier ;) JK

Rather bizzare and never heard of phones calling themself except in rather bizare horror movies.

Could have just been some freak call of nature, could have been a problem with carrier....

If your worried hard-reset device not that i think it will help but may put your mind @ rest, if happens again after i'd phone your carrier to ask why your phones is calling you? "try not to laugh when calling"

I'm sorry to make humour but i just had so many funny visuals soon as read it.

Get some sleep all will be well :D

I know its funny man but I found this so far.

Seems like other T-Mobile people had this issue.

How do you turn off the Paging Notification Options in the Dash? That seemed to have fixed things for these guys. :)

UPDATE: This is weird. I called the Voicemail, went on my Paging notifications and it says they are turned off. Yet, I still got the call? Anyone...

You remind with my Dash, i have the same issue for very long time, immediatly after reciving a voice mail my phone rinngs twice and stops, recently i flashed my phone to the latest 6.5 WM and i did not see this issue anymore. What causing it??? God knows.

Probably a flashing error with the RADIO. That, or some essential program for making calls is malfunctioning due to a bad flash. I honestly see no other reason for this than a bad flash. The ROMs are designed by our master-chefs to work well. Any glitches that a small percentage of people have are usually flash-related. The solution...REFLASH! I know i have had to do this because I have gotten funky results.

*this also taught me that when they say "Do not touch the link line", they really mean don't touch it at all. I have made a habit of stepping away from the desk when flashing haha, but that is just the very worried me :) *

I had the same situation long time ago
My excalibur called itself!
It never repeated but it was an unsolved strange problem:)

I never touched anything when flashing but its weird that its something flash related because everything works fine other than this and I called my voicemail, my paging notifications are off!

So I flashed it back to stock ROM, still getting the calls. I pick up, I say HELLO? And Jigsaw voice from SAW movies says, DIE! You will die in 5 days... or something like that. No joke, I heard that SAW had something on their site to prank call people but they took it down. I wonder if some dumb person I know is pranking me. Anyone had or know about this?

I am not kidding man. I called my buddy and Googled it, there are many sites that prank call. I also read that the SAw website had something where you could prank people and they to take it down. Guess what! First time I got the call it was Oct 23. Guess when SAW VI came out... OCT 23! So, I hope that is it. I think I know who did it, but not 100% sure. Just wanted to know if you guys heard about these things.

What do you mean a plug?

I am pretty sure I got the call Oct 23 because I even circled it on my calendar.

Either way, I am still gonna call T-Mobile.

A plug is advertising generally dropped in when on different subject. ;) 'google will give a better definition'

Good luck with t-mo and hope they make more sense of it than us, i'm baffled untill today i was thinking same as you linked, now i just got a comedy sketch similar to Crazy Movie in my head :D
