I recently got a Verizon enV phone to play with & I was on a 3 hour call the other night. What causes you to hear another call bleeding thru? I couldn't make out the conversation, but could tell it was someone talking I haven't had that with my AT&T line & it was just a minor annoyance, but still the same it was weird to have that happen. I guess I have alot to learn about CDMA now & yes I still have my AT&T line, the County Sprint Buzz & a T-Mobile pre-paid line (I am insane what can I say )
It sounds to me like you are refering to what is known as "Crosstalk", which phonescoop defines as being: Although I have never experienced this on my Verizon phones, I have with my T-Mobile phone once.
I experienced this quite a few times back in the day when I had CellularOne/Dobson. I think it only occured a few times back when I had Nextel as well. But I have yet to experience this on my Verizon phone.
As Ellen said, Crosstalk is interference in a wireless communications system from other conversations in nearby cells using the same channel. This not limited to CDMA or GSM and it can happen in a 3 min or a 3 hr conversation. The easiest is to hangup and redial & preferably by the party who didn't dial the first time, this is a pretty sure gurantee that you will be on a different channel the second time.

Thanks for the replies and solution, it's odd and reminds me of the Analog days LOL. I hope it's a 1 time event that would be a pain hanging up & recalling just because of Crosstalk
I had this happen today. I was in the middle of a conversation with a woman when all of a suuden she was gone and I was on the line with an unknown man who said "who is this and what are you talking about"? My phone has died on three different calls today. At least some guy got great info on antibiotic resistant infections PS both lines were vzw

Yeah well depending on where the conversation is or what the subject was it is a problem, it could break the rhythm of the call
More likely, crosstalk appears in the trunks connecting cell sites than within the cell sites or channels themselves. Most often this is the result of an analog link somewhere in the chain and out of the cellular carrier's control.
DITTO, in fact I would think that you have a better chance of winning the Power Ball, the Mega Million, getting struck by lightening, while driving a boat to the moon (all at the same time) than getting cross talk on a CDMA link. It has to be the land line portion of the call. Also could be on the other end.
Of all the problems that people have with cell phones, this isn't one you hear a lot about. I had this happen to me once and I simply hung up the call and redialed. The interference went away after that.
Were you calling a landline phone? cell to cell? this will make a difference.It could have been the other side. Interesting. Maybe a cordless phone? "maybe I should have read ALL the threads"

I remember it happening when I had Analog too & it was weird having it happen, so far it hasn't happened again so I hope it was just a 1 time event. As Charlyee said it was a Verizon to Verizon wireless call.
