pocket call
Unintended phone call
A pocket call is an unintentional phone call made when a mobile phone in someone's pocket or bag activates without their knowledge, typically from pressure on the screen.
The recipient hears muffled ambient noise or conversation not meant for them: I got a pocket call from my sister and heard her talking to her kids.
Also called a butt dial.
