Typically, a call is caused by the person's movement changing the shape of the pocket in a person's clothing in such a way that a small amount of pressure is applied to some of the buttons, or in the case of a touch screen phone, a call can also be caused by the screen of the phone facing the person's body and a small amount of perspiration creating sufficient conduction through their clothing such that the capacitive touch screen detects their clothing as if it were a touch from the user's finger. Pocket dialing primarily occurs with touch phones and open phones. Modern cellphones come in three configurations: flip phones, where the phone is physically closed rendering the keys inaccessible, touch phones where a finger or stylus is required to use the controls, and open phones, where keys or buttons are always exposed. The phrase "pocket dial" was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in August 2015. A pocket-dialed call can continue for many minutes, or until the recipient's voice mail system ends the call. If the caller remains unaware, the recipient will sometimes overhear whatever is happening in the caller's vicinity. The recipient of the call typically hears random background noise when answering the phone. Pocket dialing (also known as pocket calling or butt dialing) is the accidental placement of a phone call while a person's mobile phone or cordless phone is in the owner's pocket or handbag.
