It’s all fun and games until you realize you’ve actually dialled 911 (or 112 in Norway) by accident and some emergency person on the line has been trying to respond to you for half an hour before you finally discover the blunder.
That’s one reason I keep my phone against my wallet… protects the screen from sitting damage, prevents “butt dial”, and protects me from any potential radiation since they aren’t sure if it will be damaging long-term. ;-)
I have a new touchscreen on mine. Haven’t figured out yet how to get the keypad on to the main screen. (there must be an app for that!). But haven’t butt dialed anyone. Yet.
It’s called “butt-dialing” and happens all the time, except to people smart enough to buy a flip-phone. (Or smart enough to not have a cell phone at all, like me!)
