Is pocket dialing still an accident when it contines to happen?

The guy I like started pocket dialing me a few months ago. It would happen about once or twice a week. Then one day, he dialed me five times. The pocket dialing stopped for about a month shortly after that, and picked up again a few weeks ago. His phone has dialed me for the past 4 days straight. He normally apologizes for the pocket dials, and then asks how I've been. It just seems weird to me that this should happen so much, and that it woulds pick up again after such a length of time.

I have a Blackberry and I've pocket dialed, purse dialed, you name it dialed this guy every so often for the past year. I maintain that it's not my fault: my phone becomes unlocked quite easily when I have it in my pocket and I guess the way I walk causes my hip to constantly hit the "P" button and dial the first number under that category. I don't know what his deal is, but yeah, it is possible and like him, I always apologize and then ask how my friend is doing. Just because I didn't mean to call him doesn't mean that I don't care.

I never thought that pocket dialing was an accident, only that people like to pretend that it is.

I actually have pocket dialed someone before, but it was always the past person on my recently called list in my phone. Which is another reason why this happening so often doesn't make sense to me.

That's strange. The person who accidentally pocket dialed me a couple times only texted me, never called. Either he's got a malfunctioning phone, or he's a chicken.

No, it can definitely be accidental, especially with phones like the iPhone, Blackberry, or I guess any phone that doesn't have a way to hide the keypad. I know that I've called people I haven't talked to in years just because I sat on my phone the wrong way.

Pocket dialing definitely still happens. I have a bar-style phone (doesn't flip closed) and it just has a simple "Press here to unlock" style screen lock, and it's not that uncommon for it to magically unlock itself and find someone to dial. If you're in the phone a lot (someone he calls a lot so it'd be a high chance to be a recent call/text message/favorite), then the chances are higher that it'd be you than another person.

Yeah, I have done it before. Somehow I had a shortcut for a girl in my phone that was put in, and whenever I pressed the P key, it called her. So there were few times when I called her on accident while the phone was in my pocket
