Has anyone experienced this? If so, have you any idea what it going on when it happens? I have seven friends listed in my cell phone on speed dial numbers. They all work fine except one. I push his number and hear nothing. No ringing and no reply. The phone icon indicates that it is ringing but nothing sounds. However, at his end, he says it does ring and he does answer but gets dead silence. And, yes, I am holding the phone an extra long time to give him a chance to answer.
Today, after four or five tries, I dialed his entire phone number. I got the same reaction. The screen shows who I am calling but I get no sound. Finally, my friend, guessing that it was me, called me. That worked fine from his end. At home I call him on my land line and have no such problems. It's only the cell phone that does this.
When we finished talking, I called another friend as a test. She answered immediately and we talked a while. No problem at all.
Sometimes I think the electronic butterfly in outer space has me marked for destruction. Computers, cell phones, anything electronic - they just don't like me. :-(
