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!

    I see some people mentioning radio crosstalk, but that’s just not possible with modern phones. They all use at least some basic level of digital encoding/encryption.

    This could happen, though, while it was traveling over the phone system’s much older backends.
