These phantom calls have come to haunt mobile users in a big way. Since there are no scientific studies as yet let us try to be content with a layman's hypothesis.

Erin Hall, a 29-year-old from Boise, Idaho, associates these haunting calls with the anticipation of a call from a new crush or make-up call after a problem with a lover.

Jack Davis, a 37-year-old musician from Hawaii blames it on the subconscious inability to distinguish between different types of noise it hounded with everyday.

Martin Conaghan, a cell phone user in Glasgow, Scotland, believes it is psychosomatic ie your brain's adaptation to a foreign object.
