My cell phone is possessed.

[ignom]

I don't know the eff why, but it started running through the list of my ring tone volumes, then clicked the number three and shut itself off. Then it restarted, ran through the list of ring tone volumes, clicked the number three, and shut itself off, over and over.

I even took the battery out and out it back in, and it kept doing it afterward.

It quit now, I guess it wore itself out.

I'm afraid to restart it.

[eo000]

i think it's haunted.

[ignom]

I restarted it, and it's doing it again.

That'll teach you to buy the one endorsed by Linda Blair.

[eo000]

did you try throwing a quarter at it.



sorry, i had to.

If somebody can host it, I recorded a moment of it on my camera, but my batteries are going dead, so i didn't get a lot of it.

Send it to me and we'll host it here.

It's too big to gmail. I got my mac back, so I'm looking for an ftp client, but i need to know where to send it.

[Infobahn]

Pay your bill.

It finally let me gmail it to myself, so i forwarded it to you, dc.

The haunted cell phone video is here:

It's a 10 Meg file, so dial-up users beware!

I recorded another version since then that shows it hit the 3 and all that, but it still looks ugly.

I guess the video on my camera won't zoom in or out and everything looks like crap.

Your phone could have a virus.  Most virus' are hidden in phone porn.  Any idea how you it got it?

[ignom]

My phone is three years old, it doesn't even ring anymore, i doubt it can store porn.

[Grumpus]

Then it must be possessed.

[ignom]

Now it's typing 333333, adjusting the volume, a few more 3s, volume again, ring level,  turning itself off.  Repeat.

[Grumpus]

There is one outside chance for a cure. I think of it as shock treatment - as I said, it's a very outside chance... Have you ever heard of exorcism?

Could it be that you have forgotten to remit your monthly protection contribution to the electronics thugs?  I hear they exact a steep penalty.

Sometimes ringtones downloaded from sites that aren't trusted have viruses and aren't compatible with your phone.  It happened to my old phone, but I never took care of it.  It only did it when I used certain tones.  I would try to delete all the tones and restore factory defaults.  If it still happens, we will need an old priest and a young priest.  STAT.

The only ringtone I ever downloaded was the Indiana Jones theme, and that was three years ago. My phone can't play these newfangled ringtones that actually sound like real music.

I got a newer phone last year, but I busted it. I don't have $40+ to buy another phone.
