Other day, my phone started ringing and the call type showed as "Data". And I had only two choices in the answer dialog "Send busy " and "Accept". Since I wasn't sure, i sent busy signal. IN the call log, the icon is "Phone receiever picture on the globe". So, what exactly is this call ?. Can somebody connect to my phone and transfer data ? The number looks like a regular phone number.

thanks,

Somebody was trying to call you using a modem (e.g., network dial-up using a PC, PDA or their phone). Most likely by accident.
