It may have been whoever did it recorded it and posted it on social media.

I watched the repeat this morning and Sophie downloaded the app of the radio station on her phone so she could listen to the interview .. sounds like someone from the radio station made the phone call???

You wouldn't think a radio station would pull a sick prank like that but it brings to mind the Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand prank call to Andrew Sach's answerphone. If it is a radio station I hope it is taken further to show that this is not acceptable.
Also, even though this is only a soap we are watching I found it quite upsetting. That would be devastating for a woman to receive a call like that.

Also the Australian broadcasters making a hoax call in reference to a nurse that committed suicide after the radio presenters asked about the health of the Duchess of Cambridge´s health when she was in hospital at that time ...

I am sure Sally answered her house phone

yes she did

I'm thoroughly enjoying Corrie at the moment. Kate Oates has really upped her game!

I think Sally's nasty phone call was recorded by the stalker and uploaded to social media. There was mention before it happened that the family were already aware of and keeping tabs on Sally's stalker, which would explain how the girls were made aware of the recording so quickly.

As for Ken's attack, I don't think it was Peter or Tracy. Amy might have accidentally pushed Ken but she wouldn't have deliberately hit him over the head (doctors can tell the difference between the injuries from a deliberate or accidental blow to the head in answer to another forum member's question - I think from my extensive reading of crime literature over the years it has to do with the pattern of the resulting skull fractures). Of the Barlows, I'd say Adam or Daniel (but when the latter opened the front door he didn't seem to be expecting anything to be amiss). There's also a chance that it could be

Spoiler:

Rob Donovan, who is to escape from prison (I assume that's what the policeman who wanted to speak to Tracy in Friday's episode told her).

Is Sally's stalker connected to her sister or niece?

Why did Peter destroy Simon's phone?

Why do mobile phones need to be smashed to get rid of evidence or records , isn't removing the sim card more effective and less destructive ? Records are still going to exist against incoming and outgoing calls in any case.

I think this is probably done for dramatic purposes rather than realistic portrayal .. easier to film too instead of doing a close-up of someone deleting a text message

He could have gone to a cheap mobile phone shop and got it unlocked

Why did Peter destroy Simon's phone?

I was wondering that too. Can anybody explain what was on Simon's phone that was so important to Peter?
