For the past two days I have been having some serious issues with my AT&T wireless connections for my iPhone. There appears to be a routing problem with the phone system’s network (potentially AT&T) that causes the wrong parties to be connected. The scenario is this: when I select Person A from my contacts and call them, I get connected with Person X.

On Sunday, I had an even better experience: I called my girlfriend, the phone rang and then I was connected to a random party who couldn’t hear me. Then the phone started to ring again and I was connected to a different random party whom did not speak English… this cycle continued on until I was connected to a total of 5 different people, all without me needing to redial. On the other end, my intended party’s phone rang and my caller id showed up on screen. When she picked up she was connected to another random woman. See the diagram below for my theory on how the problem works (I apologize for the poor quality).

Some details on my problem: I am located in the Stamford area of Connecticut. I own an iPhone 3G with all the latest upgrades and carrier settings. I called AT&T and they said it was most likely a network issue, but it was not a known issue and confirmed it was most likely not my phone.

Anyone else having this problem? Tell us about it.
