Caught a new trick about a week ago. A company left a message on my cell phone, which when I listened to it called the company back. They had encoded the dialing codes into their message to me. What ticks me off is that I will be charged for the call.

LibreOuMort, time to get with our rep and write a new bill!!

ProudVet77, could you explain this in more detail? Surely your phone didn't dial from DTMF received in the message? Or did it?

Nope. The message was one of several on my cell phone. As I was listening to and deleting the messages, all of a sudden I was talking to someone. She did not expect to hear from me, and neither did I expect to hear her.
From what I can tell (I'm an IT type) they had imbedded the call codes in the message.
I knew that could be done on a regular phone, the phone company makes a call based on tones. Apparently, and it makes sense to me know, the call codes on a cell phone are silent.
