Stephen Phillips and other soldiers in his Army MP company were battling insurgents when his phone was pressed against his Humvee. It redialed and called his parents in the small Oregon town of Otis.
They weren't home, but the machine recorded much of the battle. They heard shooting and explosions and their son yelling for more ammo. They heard him shouting that his barrel was so hot the front sight was turning red. Then at almost three minutes into the firefight they heard someone yell, "INCOMING! RPG!" and the phone went dead.
They worried for hours until they were able to contact him. He's fine.
