We typically put a ring of garlic around a computer when this
happens. Then, we drive a stake through its CPU.
The 3B1 lacks any circuits approaching the ring VOLTAGE spec's
for a phone. Perhaps you have a phone attached that is
going mad. ...Or is settling a grudge with you or the 3B1.
Seriously, I'd certainly begin by moving the phone as far from
the 3B1 (and planet) as possible. Eating raw garlic before
speaking into it is another obvious precaution.
I've never heard anything approaching this sort of 3B1 tale
before... but... news of the beginning of the end has to
start somewhere! Keep us posted on your journey through the
bizarre... I'll try to help if I can see a way.
