Do you Think your Cell Phone Ringing when it's Not?

Lol, Maybe I'm the only one. A lot of times when I'm driving and listening to the radio I hear some sort of noise in the music that makes me sure that my cell phone is ringing, but I check and it's not. Does that ever happen to you?

I have a distinctive ring on my cell phone so I can tell it from other noises. But my grandchildren, especially my granddaughter, get my phone and will change the tune on it. Then I don't realize it is my phone ringing.

Well, my phone plays a song for a ringtone, but sometimes when the radio is on, I could swear I hear 2 songs playing at the same time, and I think my cell is ringing. But...it's not! It happens very often too.

That is so hilarious! I had a song on mine once, but took it off and now it's only music. But, if I had a song playing,I'd probably want to turn off my radio.

Grrr...I hate it when I post something and I misspell a word or as in this case I started a discussion and left an entire word out! I meant to say 'Do you think your cell phone IS ringing when it's not?' but I forgot to put the 'IS' in it. That makes me so mad I think I'll go clean something! Lol!

Oh I know! My son's father and I were just talking about how it sometimes feels like our phone is buzzing in our pockets even when we don't have our phone with us! Maybe we cause some kind of nerve damage by carrying our phones in our pants pocket!!??

I used to have that problem when I would leave my phone on vibrate all the time cuz I was in school. But now that I am out of school I have the ringer all the way up so I always know if my phone is ringing or not.

I have my cell. phone on vibrate when I'm at work & sometimes I swear it vibrated but it didn't... There were times when I was watching t.v. & cell phone rings in the show I was watching & I thought it was mine so I check it...

Yes, I hear the music or even when I think that a text came I hear the sms tone.. It's just because they enetered so deeply in our life and we here them ringing all the time.

Well yes it does happen to me since I set my phone to vibrate and I place it at my belt. When I ride a public transportation sometimes I feel my phone vibrating. but when I check it it does not. So every now and then I just touch it when I feel it really is vibrating that's the only time I get it and answer it.

Sometimes, it happened to me especially when I'm waiting someone to call or text me.. I think it is in our imagination that our cell phone is ringing.. Or maybe it is because that you listening to the radio, the sound you heard is not really coming from your cell phone but to the radio.. Because sometimes, it happened to me...

Yeah this happens to me once in a while if it's really quite haha. It's really weird because i actually think of the ringtone and then i wonder if it is really my phone.
