I’ve had times when my caller ID showed that I was calling from that very phone, but I didn’t have sense enough to answer it.
I’ve also had my phone call 911 on it’s own (not a butt-dial – there was a thunderstorm on at the time), which brought the Sheriff deputies knocking on my door.
Back in the 60’s and 70s, when landlines were the only kind of phones, there was a number we could dial that would make our phone ring. You’d dial it, hang up, and it would make sure your ringer was working.
I was at a small weekday church service recently, and right before it started, my I-phone went off. The leader said, “That’s not the song we’re going to sing!”. So I replied, “But at least we all know that one.”
I consider myself fairly technologically proficient so I’m going to ask a silly question: is that possible? Mine goes to my voice-mail box for me to check messages.

As it possible Opal more likely hit the ringer option in the sound file where you can choose how you want your ringer to sound?

Opal just put yourself on the “Do Not Call” list ;-)

Doesn’t your phone have ID so you can verify that it’s your number calling?

So glad I don’t have a ‘smart phone’, just a tight string between 2 Dixie cups used only for emergencies.

Back in the days of rotary dialing & mechanical switches, we used to be able to dial our own number & hang up in time to make it ring.

Only two times so far, but my landline phone told me I was calling myself. I didn’t WANT to talk to myself, so I didn’t answer.

Occasionally a cell phone doesn’t display caller information when the user is attempting a call at the same moment a call is incoming.
