FaceTime glitch in 4.2.1: have you had ghost calls?

Reports have been circulating around and about of mysterious ghost FaceTime calls made between iOS devices running iOS 4.2.1, most of them around the exact same time. Has your iPhone 4 or iPod touch done any rogue FaceTiming in the last few days?

The issue was brought up on Apple support forums on November 27. Both iPhone 4 and iPod touch users have been affected by the FaceTime glitch. Users are reporting that the calls were put in at exactly the same time across time zones (6:30pm LA, 9:30pm NY, 2:30am London, 3:30am Europe), and iPhone 4 users are also reporting  that the devices used to place the FaceTime calls were often switched off or completely idle when the call was put in.

One user reports putting a call in to his wife while they were both sat next to each other and his iPhone 4 was idle. This seems to be another factor in the FaceTime calls too: they’re all made between contacts.

Those receiving calls were not all on iOS 4.2.1 either – some had not updated yet, and it wasn’t restricted to one territory: the problem is reported across Thailand, in Belgium and the US.

Has your iPhone 4 or iPod touch put in a phantom call this past week? Drop us a line in the comments and tell us about it!
