I then drove 10 miles to the nearest AT&T store, where the rep was not sympathetic or concerned at all, and just demanded repeatedly if I had Applecare, and if not then it was my problem to replace the phone, and claimed I would get the same message from Apple. I called AT&T 611, spent 20 fruitless minutes with a rep who said he was new and connected me to a tech support line that answered it was off hours. This was a very disturbing and serious problem. It then started repeatedly calling that number all by itself, much more quickly seconds apart. I did the 2-button reset, and called my own land line. It repeatedly called the last number in my recents (who happened to be a sensitive business contact), minutes or seconds apart. My iPhone 3g with the latest 4.1 iOS began dialing out all by itself out of the blue last night - it was sitting on the desk in standby mode and had not been touched in a couple of hours, and the last sync / software update was 1-2 days earlier. ellphones-a-new-wave-of-attacks-to-come-1481784.html So now we need to find and purchase anti-virus software for our phones - another $100. She knew the person and found out the voice mail was recording her conversation with the original caller and they did not even know this was happening.

In another forum one user mentioned she was on a call with a friend, unknown to her, the phone called someone else and the voice mail picked up. The scary part is this could be used to dial a pay service such as a sex line and guess who will get stuck with the bill?!! So the people making the virus could also be the owners of the sex lines thus that is how they are making money off of each one of us. Bottom line is the iPhone (as well as other smart phones) is like a mini computer but without the anti-virus software and this may be a virus on our phones.

This article is a wake up call! No pun intended. I did some checking on the Net and have found other reports of this as well and then I found this article. It has since called that same person almost 10 times. The phone was sitting on my desk, I glanced down and it was calling someone.

I just recently purchased an iPhone and this started happening to me today.
