My girlfriend just updated her phone and wanted to see what the new call screen looked like so when I was with her I called her. When she answered she put her phone on speaker and all we heard were two people talking in a different language.
Anyone know why or how this happened? Hacked Apple account, or just a random coincidence? Thanks!
The way that phone lines work is interesting. So there are many physical lines going through the same switch (PBX) also many virtual lines are through the same port on that switch.
Once in a while either using the wrong wiring which is unshielded in the right places there is possibility of crosstalk. I think this might more than likely be what’s known as crosstalk which happens in a conductor(wire) that have their signal bleed into another so to speak. It can also happen wirelessly usually this results in degradation of the signal. Basically the electrical or magnetic fields overlap and causes interference with each other.
Trust me bro jk I am studying networking atm getting my bachelor’s degree.
Trust you bro? What are your books from 2005? Who uses PBX on a cell service other than for backup? Noone uses physical lines for switching anymore.
No they arent. Not unless you’re on a landline in a VERY old jurisdiction. Cell tower site switching is all done on either an ericsson BB6630 or newer ericsson/Nokia equivalent. Switching is done automatically, but based on the site file uploaded to said device. Even 3g has been decommissioned in 90% of markets in the US, and where you can get it, it’s running legacy firmware on newer hardware, for lack of a better term. There aren’t even any “lines” to switch anymore. It’s all fiber optics to the radios.
Trust me bro, I work in cell tower integration
