I've experienced this myself and the cause was, get this, ringing tone
on the line. The only way this can happen is if the phone company has
got your line crossed with someone elses, they recieve a call and you
get ringing voltage on your line. This also shows up as billing for
long distance calls you didn't make and so on.
