Yes, the police are calling round this evening, at least it's not as bad as last time when he was mugged a few steps away from his flat by two on a stolen motor bike, he got quite a bad cut on his head, but it's a common occurrence in London
Gness, that kept happening to me when I got my new phone. I took it back and said it was faulty. The young man in the shop pointed out that I was pressing both sides of the phone, and therefore another button on the other side, when I turned it on and it was reverting to 'something' and therefore only accepting emergency call options. Is that what you are doing maybe? Mine is a Samsung.
Tilly....It's a Samsung and I did wonder if I was pressing buttons by accident so I took care and it still did it....won't switch on or do anything now so it can go back....x
