What Cancelled Calls On Your Mobile Phone Call Log Mean
A phone is purposefully designed for communication. Since it was first introduced, improvements were made to this piece of technology so as to make possible as well as to improve communication. Today, with the many features and functions of modern phones, they have become primary tools and mediums for efficient communication.
One of the primary function of mobile phones is voice communication. Voice communication through mobile phones is similar to traditional telephones wherein a person on one end makes a call and the person on the other end receives it, making it possible for them to speak or talk to each from a distance.
What Canceled Calls On Mobile Phones Signify
While mobile phones have made communication more efficient for people, it is imperative for all mobile phone users to be familiar with the call and messaging functions of the phone, including call and messaging icons, symbols or tags. This is not only for one to make use of the phone with all its features and functions correctly and better, but also to avoid misinterpretation or miscommunication.
Modern mobile phones have the Call Log feature where users can access their call history to check previous and recent calls easily and conveniently, unlike traditional telephones. Basically, the Call Log registers all incoming and outgoing calls made on the phone and includes details like the date, time, and length of the call.
When browsing the Call Log of your phone, you will see entries that would indicate that you received a call, made a call, or missed a call. Some call entries are also shown as “Canceled” or “Canceled Call”. Depending on the kind of phone you have, these calls are represented by an icon, a symbol or a label.
Mobile phone users know what an incoming, outgoing and missed calls are. A canceled call, however, is something that many aren’t familiar with or know why it was marked that way. Many think that a cancelled call would mean that the person they phoned (recipient/receiver) declined or rejected the call/s. This misinterpretation or misunderstanding of what a “Canceled Call “signifies may cause people to become disconcerted when they see calls on their call log tagged as “Canceled “, which may change the caller’s disposition towards the recipient.
For most mobile phones, “Cancelled Call “corresponds to calls that were disconnected, did not connect or go through because they were stopped or ended before it could be directed to voicemail.
For iPhones, a “Cancelled Call” usually means that the caller stopped or ended the call before it could even ring, after it rings for a few seconds or hanged up before the recipient could even receive or answer the call. Yes, calls marked on your iPhone as “Cancelled” were actually made by you yourself.
There are varied reasons why a call you made is marked as “Cancelled”. While an issue or a problem with the network can be a reason for a cancelled call, this isn’t always the cause. Either you realized that you incorrectly dialed an incorrect number and immediately stopped the call, you hanged up because the person you were phoning took too long to answer, you ended the call because of sudden regret or change of mind, or maybe something come up causing you to end it.
