I have heard of the ability to do what is called buttdialing. You have your phone in a rear pocket of your pants and somehow move just right and your phone dials someone for you. I have received such calls but never made one.
Today I was walking about checking out some markings placed by underground utility locators. Suddenly I heard a voice coming from my smarter-than-me-phone. First guess was it was a weather update. Pulled the phone from my left front jeans pocket to discover an associate yelling, "HELLO, HELLO". Somehow the phone had called him. I last called him several days ago. He is in my contact list but way down the list. Have no idea how this happened. My butt was not involved. So what should I call such a call?
You can set your phone to dial the last number called by simply activating your dial sequence.
I've been carrying my phone in my pocket in my Tshirt with the screen facing out because I caught myself nipple dialing.
So it is possible for any part of your body to accidentally dial out.
I've listened in on many of the buttcalls that were made to me, a few I recorded and played back to the caller later for a laugh.

I received an obscene text mesage from I can only assume a young woman to what she thougjtnwas another youmg woman Jones'ing for shall we say some male bits and parts.
Obviously a wrong number but I kept it for a lomg time to show others my age.
He was down about 20 calls from being the most recent call. It's still a mystery as to how his number was dialed.
Maybe 8 years ago, with my first "smartphone", while doing some maintenance work on some commercial buildings and wearing earplugs for a couple of hours, I hip-dialled the national emergency number (in this case 111). When I took the plugs out I heard the phone ringing and saw that the area code was from the Capital city, so with much trepidation answered, and got asked "are you ok", my reply was "yes thanks", they then explained they'd received an emergency call a couple of hours ago and heard what appeared to be a fight. I realised what had happened and apologised profusely, and they explained that they were the Police control centre and said "no, problem, we have to check things out, have a good day".?ÿ
Pocket-dial is probably a more appropriate term. Of course some butts are bigger and perhaps shaped differently, therefore capable of making calls with a modern cell phone in unconventional ways.
When I'm duck hunting and the phone is in a pocket inside my waders I've made many calls or texts that are not intentional. Fortunately for me, I don't say a lot of vulgar stuff or trash-talk people in my contacts, etc. So for me there's not a lot of danger in it, but it can kill your battery power.
On the other hand I've received some strange ones. One of my Pals once sent a text related to d*ck hunting during the season. I sort of wondered how His phone allowed or auto-corrected to that. I am pretty sure He meant "ducks" and He's married to a woman so whatever I guess...
Your penis will do funny things if you don't keep an eye on it.
My wife has a friend whose now ex-husband butt dialed thier home phone answering machine while getting intiment with his missteress.
2o years ago I got butt-dialed by a crew of mine. For 10 minutes I listened to them smoke weed as they rolled down the highway.
We had a good talk before I let them go.
Maybe it was a nut case.
Or a junk call.
I had a nokia company phone years ago that was bad about dialing the first contact on the list. That happened to be Allen H...?ÿ?ÿ the owner of the construction company that I work for. I added a new contact,?ÿ A1 Surveyor so it would be the new top of the list with my personal cell number so that I would be the first to know if I pocket dialed someone.
