Strange cell phone call, page 2

i'm not too deep into the technical stuff regarding cell phones, but this happened to me a few times too, when i used a GSM phone.
Not exactly like described always having a messed up conversation right from start, but often when i entered an area with significant, but not ultimate loss in signal strenght (so i guess)

for example i'm used to phone in a 20 story building with a GSM megacell station right on the roof, operated by the same provider i have subscribed to.
As a matter of fact the signal strength directly below the antenna is a tricky issue. The buildings superstructure transports the HF signal a good portion, but below the 2nd story the signal becomes somewhat weakened or subject to modifications, reflections and whatever else.
So sometimes when i below 2nd floor i'm used to have this sort of alien talk too.

Lets try to shed some light into the details (as i think they work):
Once having a connection established it basically means that you have not a standard voice line like in good old times with your old-fashioned phone anymore, but an encrypted data-connection established.
The analog pendant of a wireless phone would start becoming messed up with noise. The weaker the signal the more intense the noise you can hear.
Loss of signal GSM-style means the data-transmission gets faulty and phone and station you are booked into start making use of extra-bits within your signal trying to replace faulty bits in the transmission.

We call that an error-correction algorithm.

Aside with the voice-data phone and station exchange telemetry about the connection itself, in a way that the GSM-phone can actively try to send with higher power, or changes station if possible (handover)
all this happens without you knowing, and you not even get aware if a handover to another station takes place.

Its my personal believe, that this connection-control data has more bits in its error-correction than the voice data, and could possibly get better and more efficently restored than the voice data.

As a result you do a call in an area with weak signal. Your phone bahaves like normal, except the voice is digitally messed up and sounds VERY alien, because the error correction could not restore it to a point you would hear it as normal voice.
The control-data may still run fine, and must run fine since keeping the connection is more important as its content, from technical viewpoint.

In this scenario the loss of voice-data happens at the location of just ONE of both involved phones, and while you mentioned your girfriend is using an iphone .. uhm... the iphone has been in the media for having a faulty antenna, so its much likely that your girlfriend is going to have alien conversations more often than you.

maybe its helpful to change provider or phone ?

As i said i do have conversations like that often. which once let me change my provider which has its station on another roof, thus granting a better coverage of the building i hop around in.

Did it sound like this?( Listen to the full video... you can hear it better towards the end) Some iphones had a problem with that...I forget what caused it.... If that is it, tell her to take it to the apple store.

The people in this video have a similar story... before the person connected.... it started doing this. it is weird...It even sounds like it is breathing at times and almost seems to respond when you talk...Was just a weird glitch though.

In this scenario, wouldn't the person being called have to receive the call and speak for their voice to be garbled as such? In this situation, neither of us received the original call.

There are issues which can cause a raspy effect however I suspect this is not the case as statistically speaking it should not be happening on two different phones.

It is very interesting. I am not opposed to other intelligences. I have seen ufo phenomenon and am open to the prospect of communication from them.

Having said that I was getting phone calls every other day with just silence on the other end from an unlisted number complained to the phone company they did nothing I solved it by not answering unlisted numbers. Then a fellow techi explained that marketing companies get your number and put it into a robot which will call your number throughout the day to see what times you will pick up for telemarketing profiles. When you answer it is silent as it is a machine. Its annoying however no where near as startling as your experience is. Keep us updated if it reoccurs. I'll help where I can.

It's hard to tell because of the Audio quality. My first impression was that it did not sound like this at all, but near the end of the clip you can kind of hear almost a raspy, breathing type voice, and this is somewhat similar to what I heard (but in my case, it seemed to be forming words and sentences and not just making static sounds).

It is however, relieving to know this is a known issue with iphones. Although I have an android, I could see how an issue with her iphone could cause this to happen both ways. I'm going to just chalk it up as some kind of glitch (there really isn't any other option for a logical, sane person).

I'll be back to post some more info once I do some digging.

Thanks for everyone's input, I know it might seem like a ridiculous thing to post about on ATS, but you would have had to hear it for yourself to understand why I found it so disturbing (also, the fact my gf had the same experience months earlier in a different city).

Yeah, I just happened to remember seeing that video a long time ago.... Not sure if there are other similar videos showing this issue or not.

Just thought I would show you.

Got to agree with camouflaged, thank you for being honest.

Now go and enjoy the site

I'm tempted to say it was Indrid Cold. You don't happen to live in West Virginia, do you?

hahaha no sir, I do not. but I must admit, having read about moth man and seen the movies, I was inclined to be swayed towards such an opinion during this experience. I can assure you I hold logic dear to me. I hope if anything, this post serves as A) a beacon for anyone else who has encountered what I did and is looking for answers and B) an example of why critical thinking should always dominate ones mind.

Hi there, the exact same thing happened to me today, and has been happening for quite a few months off and on.
at first i did think... interference e.t.c. however, the logical explanations presented do not explain the breathing, i too challenged the voice and it became very angry.
For a number of weeks i feel as though i am being watched, i sometimes hear strange noise in the house and my dog (pug) will lose his mind at thin air.
I have heard someone saying my name whilst ive been sleeping...which woke me up. and seen orbs on occasion.

Four years ago i lived in a haunted flat (undoubtedly), i dont feel as though this house is haunted but i am beginning to become more concerned as my 6 yr old tells me of a boy who pulls his sheets off him. i have seen an apparition of the boy beside my bed when i was pregnant with my youngest, he is now four months old.

But the most chilling experience to date happened when my youngest was newborn. I often rang my mother in the middle of the night for support, on this occasion i rang her for a chit chat around 12am. my phone lost it charge and died on me. i put it on charge in my room and got distracted by the baby crying. i forgot to turn it back on. however an hour later i realised that my mum might try ringing back and be worried if my phone was off. i reassured myself that if she were concerned she'd ring the landline. She didnt.
the next morning she called me quite shaken and asked if anyone had stayed that night, to which i replied no!.
she then told me that a man answered my phone. my boyfriend and father to my youngest passed away suddenly last march .
she then said around 1.30 am after ringing a number of times and going straight to voicemail that a man picked up and said "sorry she can't come to the phone, but shes ok..do you want me to pass on a message" then the phone hung up. my mum stated that she could hear children in the background and me saying "shu shu shush" to the baby.
i felt shivers up my spine. i asked he what the man sounded like...she said ..in his 20s, local accent.
my boyfriend died at age 25, we grew up together, same schools, college e.t.c.

my mum would never lie about such a thing happening as she felt my devastation when he passed away. nor would she invent this kind of thing to make me feel better...its just not her style.
i do honestly believe that technology can act as a portal for spirits, demons...
my advice, nothing good comes of provoking. id let it say what it wants (record if poss) tell it you can hear it and your listening. say something like "im surrounded by love and light" (dont know if that will work) and then hang up.
Your not alone
