Was there a connection between the phone ping and the report of a child crying on Tue 1st May?

Has this anything to do with Kate McCann being on her mobile that night so much more than other nights? In fact she never used her phone on any other night before 4th May past 7 or 8

Can someone clarify what that document is showing  ?

Is it saying that Kate was using her phone  during the period  Mrs Fenn said she could hear a child crying in the McCann apartment  ?

Pings as far as I can work out. What's suspicious?

I don't understand the document and wanted to clarify  ...  how many times was Kate on the phone during the hour and a quarter period Mrs Fenn heard a chid crying in the McCann apartment  ?

What makes you think that she was on the phone?

That's why I am asking questions Carana  ...  I don't understand what this document means

Perhaps someone can explain it to me 

Do the  'pings'  signify that Kate was using her phone ?  ...  and how many times did that happen during the period Mrs Fenn heard the child crying in the apartment  ?

I can't help, Icabodcrane, I'm very allergic to cell phones. But I have an idea, likely stupid, that when a cellphone receives or sends a sms, some kind of signal is registered in the operator post. No need to actually talk.

If this is correct.
Pinging a cell phone means locating the tower origin of the last signal the phone received

So the  'pings' show when a mobile has been used  ?

As far as I know, a ping is a signal received on a signal-receiving mast. It does not necessarily correspond to any active use of a phone.

I'd be happy to be corrected on that, but I got transferred to a different operator (extra charge) just the other day, when I hadn't even touched my phone, let alone used it.

Why is there a new thread on this subject?

Never been  a thread before carana, just wondering if there is a connection with kates phone pings on that night and mrs fenns testimony, her phone had nothing on it for every single previous night

icab, the time  of the pings is just before Mrs Fenn said she heard a child  cry from the flat below, child heard crying from 10 30, pings for about a quarter of an hourbefore it started

Ps a ping is a record of a recieved call AFAIAW

I recall that the night in question was also the night of the quiz at the Tapas bar.  The aerobics instructor, who gave the quiz, was invited to the table by Gerry McCann and remained with them for about half an hour

I can't remember the details of her witness statement, but I believe she said she did not remember  Kate being there

Could it be possible that Kate was in the apartment when those calls were made  ?  (  it seems unlikely that she would be on the phone so much at the dinner table ) 

[Redblossom]

she mayhavebeen asking friends for theanswers LOL, oops, no the quiz ended way before, dunno Icab, whatis clear and fact is that her  phone and no one elses was pinged several times that night

The luscious Mrs Chekaya doesn't remember seeing Mrs McCann at the table where she spent 20 minutes, invited for a drink by Mr McCann (female competition ?), but she curiously noted that a chair remained empty all time... She isn't not sure to remember Mr Payne was there.
Besides she remembers meeting Madeleine once or twice... Where ? How would she identify her ?

Unless you have been there I dont think you could realise just how compact and quite small the garden / tapas area is.  It looks much bigger on Google Earth.

The designer (George Crossland?) has fitted tennis courts, swimming pool, tapas restaurant and bar, Kiddies club, pool and the little playground into a remarkably small space.  It feels compact and quite cosy, yet not cramped.  Very pleasant.

it is the sort of size that everyone would see everyone else - maybe not to speak, but to recognise
