Starting about three or four days ago, my phone and my husband's phone began to make random calls. We thought it was just to each other at first, but my friends from other providers and other phone types have also been saying I've called, but when they answer, there's no sound on the other end of the phone. When these calls are being made, the phone is sitting by itself on my desk or the table - nobody is touching it and the screen isn't even showing an outgoing call. Likewise, they're not showing in my outgoing call list. I've also received calls from random numbers that are not in my phone book - a "Pat at McDonald's" (saying I called them) and "Cat Facts" saying I'm now signed up to receive a fact a day (I tried to cancel on the call to no avail, but they have not called since either way).
Likewise, our data is extremely high this month for no apparent reason. While I am a YouTube fiend, I have not watched any more than I usually do and I have not made any downloads. I have not visited any websites on my phone that I don't normally visit and none of them are classified as shady. Neither have I downloaded any apps from the store that are questionable.
My first instinct is virus. I've tried resetting my phone multiple times and it obviously has not resolved the issue.
Has anybody else had this issue recently? Does anybody have a fix? This is extremely aggravating and I do not want my bill driven up because of some virus. And I just want it OFF my phone so I can have it back to normal.
