For the past month or so I have noticed that I have been checking my cell phone for a text message or missed call only to find that I do not have either.

I close my phone, and a few moments later I will get a text message or someone will call me.

Does it seem possible that subconsciously, my body was noticing the frequencies that came with the incoming call/message, and that now, as I have had my phone longer, can detect the incoming frequencies earlier, hence why I unnaturally get the urge to check my phone.

Cell phones make me angry :mad:

P.S. Does anyone else feel a vibration in the place where you keep your cell phone (pocket-region) sometimes even when it not there?

You're a stupid, socially obsessed bitch. I suggest you come to terms with this as soon as possible and move on. You're not the first, you won't be the last. Grow up. :)

I doubt it, as cool it may sound. It would make as much sense as me standing near my wireless router and being able to sense it were broadcasting the wireless signal or not.

* Sigh * :rolleyes:

Where do I begin, first off I really should not waste my time with you...

Secondly, I disagree, as you have to have a social life to be socially obsessed, so please stop compensating you pretentious piece of shit.

Lastly, I recommend knowing what you are talking about before you speak, and gargle my balls ;)

Yeah, I get that fake vibrate feeling sometimes. You just get used to it, expect it to happen, and...I don't know. But it's not like I feel a vibrate and then a few seconsd later there is actually a vibrate. It's random.

I've noticed this. There is the phantom cell phone vibration or whatever that makes people think their phone is vibrating when it's not, but you're talking about something different. Like being able to tell seconds in advance that your phone is going to ring. I get that all the time; I'll pick up my phone and a few seconds later it's ringing.

No but I always think I hear my phone ringing when I've got it in my pocket and am out ..

That happens to me all the time.

And I constantly check my phone, only to get a text message right after I pick it up. I think part of it might be that you're expecting a text message or call, and the timing just happens to be good. Like if I text message my boyfriend and check my phone to see if he's responded yet, then his message comes through right after I check.

I threw my mobile phone at a wall last week. Now I don't get any SMS messages.

It's fantastic.

Yes, anticipation definitely plays a major role in some situations. Although, I don't think that is always the case, as there are times where at random when this happens.

Beautiful, sometimes this seems to be the only way :)

I don't need a phone to communicate over the mobile network. I'm very conditioned.

I've thought about this myself. It happens all the time though.. it would be cool to be supernatural but I doubt it.

Yeah, i get this, and my phone can be hours away from where i am, i feel a vibrating, when i look at it when i get back, i have missed calls/messages

I get this a lot. In fact, I think I made a thread about this a while back. I usually pick up the phone the second before it rings/vibrates. It's odd. It's like I subconsciously know that there's an incoming message/call.

Happens often, too. I'd say 4/6 time. :o

There was a post like this that I made as well as someone else more than a year ago in SG, search for 'Cellphone Radiation'. IT got QUITE a lot of pages.

Very relevant.

This is a classic example of people attaching significance to a common event paired with an uncommon stimulus

most people reflexively check their phones many times a day without receiving messages and on the few occasions where a message or call is received after checking one's phone these isolated incidents stand out and the human mind infers false causality between the two as it is so adept at doing

To put it more simply

there is no mechanism by which the human brain can detect an incoming transmission on a mobile phone and all those times you've done this are just coincidence

You're a faggot.

Do elaborate?

Shut the fuck up.

Oh, I didn't realize I told you, that you COULD stop sucking my cock.

I didn't realise that they let you on the internet for more than 30 minutes without touching your parent's 'special place' at least 4 times a day.

But hey, maybe you got lucky today.

Wanker.

I do this frequently.

Both things.

I was on E once and i kept hearing my phone ring about every 30 seconds. But it never actually rang.


It started driving me insane after a while.
