    Has anyone ever experienced this? I have, as well as with emails and especially text messages.

    Do you think there's any chance this could be real-that there is a valid, unspoken connection between people who reach out to each other?

    I've heard its because you only remember the times where you had been thinking of someone who had then got in touch, but you don't remember all the times you had thought of someone who doesn't get in touch. Moomin

    This isn't news, it's just fluff.

    That's called counting the hits and forgetting the misses.

    Lol! I'm not convinced it's real. But, I am curious about everyone's experiences.

    It happens to me all the time. Phone calls, emails, and especially text messages. As far as text messages, we say the same things at the same time alot. I think thats just cause we know the person well. It is weird when your thinking about someone, and they call.

    I had a friend which we lost touch about 7 years ago, and we both moved to different states. About 2 months ago, I was thinking about her, and tried looking her up on the net. No luck. The next night she called me! That one was strange to me.

    Probability pretty much guarantees that everyone will have experienced this effect (except those with either no phones, no friends, or both).

    I have telephone telepathy to a degree. I once picked up the phone and my friend was there even before the phone rang.

    I once knew somebody who was visually impaired and she always knew when the phone was going to ring.

    What I don't like is when I'm thinking of someone who I don't want to be bothered with, and they end up calling.
