This is little spooky. Can you please help me decipher this?

[Raghav_12]

So like all of you, I am also part of many whatsapp groups. In one of such groups, say ABC, I am member along with 20-30 other members and one of them is a particular girl. I barely knew that girl and never had any kind of one-on-one chat. Closest association would have been commenting on the same topic that was being discussed on the group.Nothing beyond that.

Now on last Sunday, I put my phone in my pocket witnout locking it. In a while I found One of my friends number who was in my contact list had got dialled. Phone was responded from other side and was on for around 1 min when I noticed it. I disconnected immediately as that time I was in no mood to talk to him and thought would drip him a message later.

Soon after I received a message on my whatsapp which said something like "why did you call me"? from a number which wasn't there in my contact list. I was startled that there was no outgoing call to any unknown number from my mobile. On checking whatspp contact found that person is same girl who is part of whatsapp group ABC  I mentioned in the beginning of this post. Though since I had sent some messages to group ABC, I might have kept members list of that group open and a whatsapp call got dialled to that girl. Not very strange thing to happne. But then that girl corrected that it wasn't a whatsapp call but a normal call. Surprised I checked all outgoing calls and I didn't find any call to the numer she was sending whatsapp messages. 

I told her that there is no outgoing call from me to the number that you are messaging from. She told I called her on other number which she regularly uses not on the whatsapp number. Then I realized the number which was shown to me as friends number was actually her number. I looked at friends contact in my phone book and found that the number on which I had called to this girl was stored as the second number of my friend. I checked with him and he said that he never had any such number. This girl said that she has been with her only for quite sometime. She also confirmed that never ever she shared her number on which i called in the group.

Since then I have tried to find in possible ways in which I could have got her number in my phone but all efforts have come to a nought. I am totally at loss in finding any plausible reasoning which could explain this. That girl is thousand of miles away without any kind of even distant connection. I am finding it very freakish that how my phone can automaticallt call a distant acquaintance whose number I never had or knew. Only way I can think of is, in pocket some numbers randomly got dialled which turned out to be her number and then that number got stored as an alternate number of a one of my contacts on phone book. But that would extremely extreme coincidence amd probability of such happening is very very small.

Now this girl is kind of insinuating that I am stalking her and demanding how did i get her number. She is in no mood to buy my theory that my smartphone automaically knew her number and dialled without involving me in the whole process. She is very admant about knowing that who gave me her number for whatever reason. I am in a bit of fix telling her that I would rather like to know that from her.

Can anynbody suggest what could have happened here? Any thing  that I may have missed or overlooked and which could explain this? Any idea telling me how I would have got her number in my phone will help soothe me. 

[sensible-indian]

May I suggest something?

This is a situation where she is not going to believe you. You were respectful but still she is not ready to drop it (she may have her valid reasons but that's not your headache when you were genuinely speaking the truth).

Tell her you have no idea how the wrong number got stored (try explaining your point respectfully) and if she still keeps pestering you, ask her to BUGGER OFF.

Better go out as a jerk than as a wimp.

stalker! 

[Old guy]

well ok seriously can you explain the friend contact having her number more clearly ? 

also the part i quoted is impossible ...seriously chances are there was her number in that group and probably she used it by mistake or someone added that by mistake and when you saved contact you tapped wrong name (what does name of your friend and that girl start with ? is it same ? )

 Only way I can think of is, in pocket some numbers randomly got dialled which turned out to be her number and then that number got stored as an alternate number of a one of my contacts on phone book

 

 let me get this clear again....you had her number saved in contact of your friend which IMO is possible..maybe some one sent you contact ? also if their names are same and some other information matches some phones and services do merge contacts on their own..

my htc phone did it when i had multiple 2-3 contacts with almost same information like name .(but it will ask you )

 

also lets forget that and get to real issue...why is it such a big deal ?why do you even want to explain when its clear that big issue is being made out of nothing and there is literally no way you can stalk her phone number unless its available somewhere public like facebook or that group itself and if that is the case why is it such big deal ?

to me these type of issues happen when some one sends me contact (recent example our strike on icf :P ) he recently changed number and contact got sent and since i have friend whose name is similar to his name i accidentally merged that contact :P

[Detonator]

Its not spooky. At some point of time, she must have used the secret number as the prImary whatsapp contact. You might have accidentally saved that number into ur existing friends contact. You might not have noticed it or simply didnt bother to call that number for long time. And she must have whatsapp number changed to some other public number shortly , and she must have forgot in few days. she is claiming you did some black magic to get her number.  

Remember no one ever is Harichandra, and its extremely rare to see a girl actually admitting something she screwed up. 

[fineleg]

Next time she asks you, tell her 'pics or sftu'

[New guy]

Solution is simple. Your friend is a cross dresser who likes to pretend he is a girl on whatsapp group. Now you caught him so he is trying to pretend that number is not his and being outraged to cover himself

New guy and his smart-arse replies.. he is good at it.

Tell that bytch that she's an ugly loser and she should feel lucky to have gotten that missed call otherwise her call log would be empty. Also she can choke on some whip cream.

Her non-whatsapp number on which I called was found to be stored as alternate number of my friend. My friend says that he never had that number. He also doesn't have or ever had any number similar to that number.  Storing under wrong contact name or merging contacts are not possibilities as I never had talked or chatted with her and never received a contact from her.

I was aware of her existence only through her whatsapp number. There is no way, manually or automated, in which that other number of 10 digits would have got in my system. We never exchanged any numbers so there is no possibility of her number getting stored under wrong name. Key question remains how I got that number in my system. I can probably understand that number getting stored under wrong name but not getting her number. Only way i can think of pocket dial and that would be extremely rare coincidence.

well these suggestions are not going in right direction..

her attitude is not exactly my worry.. I was actually looking if somebody can actually bring up scenarios explaining this.

Deto that could definitely have been a possibility. Good thinking. But this group was formed recently only and since then this girl used only one number on that whatsapp group.

to me account syncing with facebook or some other social media is better possibility.

there is no way you can dial exactly 10 digit number in pocket and that is of that girl and it dials and it gets saved in pocket in contact of your friend...

Sabby, no chance of syncing with social media causing this. I didn't even know her name properly. Absolutely no connection outside that whatsapp group. Only possibility is pocket dialing of her number and thats why i found it spooky. 

[Raghav_12]

Guys, i have asked suggestions in deciphering this not on how to deal with that girl. So please focus your lateral thinking on right task :-)

[vvvslaxman]

Ask her to stop stalking you lol

[Precambrian]

_{Tell her it was your nephew who called her from your phone.}

[gattaca]

Ask her to join AAP. That should solve it.

[Desi Cartman]

How the feck do you expect us to solve it? You are telling us that you never had her phone number and you didnt call her and she said you called her. What do you think we can tell you?

 

If you are a believer then think its a god's way of connecting you two

If you are tharki then its a way to meet someone new

If you are neither of the above then put her on ignore and move on

 

 

PS: you can check your bill or online call records

Whatsapp contacts and Phone/device address books are maintained as different lists, but connected, Your default phone-call application is set to 'Phone' and not whatsapp call. So, you had her device address contact  opened accidently and when called, an outgoing call is placed on your device call log. You have her number as a second number on the phone contact list in your friends .cab file and hence it shows up as though you dialled your friend and not this girl. This girl could have a had a new sim/ph number, but still use whatsapp on the same phone with the old number. You can do that. I have changed sims, but kept by whatsapp number from the previous sim. When she gets a call on her new sim, she is confused since it is not her whatsapp number. whatsapp routes call based on mac address rather than sim or phone number. The real question is how did her new number get into your address book? She might have accidently butt-dialled you and you have saved it as a second number of your friend. This makes her the stalker and you the stalkee. To the stalkee belong the spoils!
