W211 - and Nokia 6310i

Hi everyone,

This happened my wife on her way to work this morning...

She rang out on the cars steering wheel controls, got connected and got cut off instantly, she thought she had lost signal for a moment. The other person then rang her back and they had their conversation, when finished another client rang her to say that her landline phone had rang and when she answered she could hear my wifes conversation with the previous client? What was going on and does this happen often, in my wifes case all three people knew each other, but it could have been a problem!

Hopefully someone will have an answer shortly, thank you.

Cheers

You mean the one who was disconnected, called back and the one "spying" was not related at all the the first call?

You car/cell phone at the car can physically handle only one call at a time. This sounds like a multi-party call which can be set up by the network. A multi-party call might have been established unintentionally if the first call would have been for the one spying and wasn't actually disconnected but only faded momentarily. Now this was not the case if I got it right. I don't see how your wife could have placed this multi-party call unintentionally. Either the one calling her back had set it (intentionally or unintentionally) or an error has occurred at the network side.

Years ago I remember claims about fixed network switching errors causing something similar (typically between totally random calls) but I have not heard this kind of an error lately.

Was the one "spying" anyway related to the one who called your wife back? Perhaps the two had a conversation, or the one calling back had just placed a call to the third at the time your wife's call failed...?

Can we just call them "Person A", "Person B" and "Person C" like they do in trials?

A good proposal. Unless it was the wife, the husband and the mistress

Ok, caller 'A' rang caller 'B' and got cut off, caller 'B' returned the call to caller 'A' at this time caller 'C' answered her phone as it was ringing and heard both caller 'A' and 'B' having a conversation.

No multi-caller calls had been used intentionally. Hope that is a little clearer. All three callers knew each other, and both callers 'B' and 'C' are on my wifes phone.
