Globe Subscribers Worst Nightmare

Last week, I just experienced something really weird when my cousin called me through my cellphone. Initial call was just normal. My phone rings and I was able to talk to my cousin for a good 5 minutes. And then we were suddenly cut off. (Both my cousin and I are Globe subscribers by the way. )

So my phone started to ring again, expecting that my cousin is calling me up to continue our little chit chat. I started, "Hello kuya, anyare?". But the voice I heard from the other line was not him. I checked my phone to see if the number registered is still my cousin's. And it still is.

I kept asking the caller "Sino 'to?" and keep saying "Hello" just in case he was able to hear me. But he can't seem to hear me. He kept talking and talking. I stayed in the line for a while to know what was going on. The person on the other line seemed to be talking to someone else. Not to someone with him. He seemed to be talking to someone on the phone as well. ANO 'TO, PARTYLINE?

I listened a little more. I was not able to hear the voice of the person he is talking to. Based from what I was hearing, he was talking to his girlfriend. So it's like, I am hearing what his girlfriend was hearing but both of them can't hear me.

I hope you are able to understand my story telling. So moving on, I started to text my cousin to tell him I'll call his landline number instead. However, I am still having issues calling his landline using my moblie phone. So I opted to call him landline to landline. I told him of what happened and he also said that the same thing happened to him. And we started to worry because this is invading other peoples private conversations. What if someone can also listen to our calls as well? What if I am talking to my family giving sensitive personal information and someone else is listening to our conversation? What if?

Is it time to change my phone carrier?
