To think she's in the UK

Anyone who has a bit of tech knowledge greatly appreciated here....

My friend is abroad. Been there since Weds due back tomorrow morning. I've called her mobile a couple of times, got the international dial tone, as per normal.

Today, called at lunch. International tone still. She's told me again she's flying back in the morning. I called her just now to double check flight time and it's ringing with a standard UK ringtone like the phone is in the UK?

Does this mean she's in the UK now? She's a really good long term friend with no reason at all to fib. There's literally no reason why she'd tell me she was back tomorrow morning instead of tonight (it's like 14hrs difference) so can this happen by accident? Google is not helping.

I know she's on EE. Could the phone have picked up a UK network out there (Cyprus) and that's why the dial tone has changed this evening.

I hope this is a common occurrence with phones, I'm just a bit "hmmmmm" because since it's rung like it's in the UK she hasn't read my WhatsApps or returned the call.

Please tell me you've had experience of this to put my mind at ease. I know it's really none of my business at the end of the day, but I'd like to know if she could still be legitimately out there and it's just the phone playing silly buggers.

Thank you in advance...

@Aroundnabout1 I fear it may never happen. Will have to wait for the “crazy woman at work is stalking me whilst on holiday” thread to see how it ends.

I don't think Timmy Mallet shows up in night goggles. It's like a vampire thing.

Can't wait for the friends thread. 'Aibu to be concerned that my colleague has been staking out my house while I was on holiday? Now I'm back I keep hearing strange ring tones in the night and finding piles of crayola and little dolls made from the same outside my door every morning, reminiscent of the Blair witch'

You are probably lovely but this all sounds a bit stalkery to me sorry just my opinion

@Estheryan07 I don't know why you've just found this thread but now I'm wondering whether OP's (blatant) affair partner ever confessed that they were actually with their other FWB that night Grin
