Yep, i complained and they fixed it (mobile operator or the stingray.. don't know who caused the issue or if there even was a stingray (or just a misconfigured basestation)).
The problem i had is, that the time in my case was in the future, so when i called someone (personA) from within that cell, the call was made sometime in 2025... this wouldn't bother me in general, but when you use the redial function in your headset (double tap on the button), the phone would call the last dialed number (which means max(timestamp), not the actual last call), and instead of ringing the last person dialed (eg. personB), it would redial the personA I called from the affected cell, and after misdialing them by accident, a couple of times, I had to manual remove that call from the calllog, to get the redial to work again... until I entered that cell again and called someone from there again.
