I have TW digital phone and about 6 weeks ago I had a 2nd line installed (which I don't use much - only a few people know the number). I have a Durabrand model PH-5595 wired phone connected to it along with a Plantronics HL10 telephone handset lifted. Everything worked fine until yesterday. A little after 6:00 AM yesterday morning the police came to my house and said they had rec'd a 911 hangup call (from this 2nd line) and when they tried to call it back they got only static. Then last night arond midnight, the police came again and said they had rec'd a 911 hangup call and got only static when they called back. This morning I called TW and they just got back to me - they said that someone dailed from this phone:
05:43:14 until 05:43:31 - called 211
05:44:49 until 05:45:00 - called 911
05:45:18 until 05:45:28 - called 311
23:06:01 until 23:09:31 - called 211 211 211
23:48:26 until 23:49:10 - called 911
23:51:45 until 23:54:45 - called 211
NO ONE dialed this phone - My wife and I are the only ones here and we were asleep in the same room as the only phone connected to this number!
TW said that either someone here dialed the phone or the phone did it automatically. When I told this to the Durabrand (lenoxx) rep, he thought I was crazy and advvised that the phone could not dial a number unless I had it programed with the number, had it on speakerphone, and pressed send.
Has anyone heard of anything like this happening? Any suggestions? TW told me that my phone may not be compatible and to get a new phone but it seems to me that if a phone was not compatible, it would not wait 6 weeks to show problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I apologize if this is not a proper question for this group but I did not know where else to go. I also posted this in alt.onlineservices.roadrunner
