Lights in one bedroom not turning on (but not consistently)

We moved into our house yesterday and we seem to be having electrical issues in one of the bedrooms. Our room has 3 light switches, one for the recessed lights, one for the ceiling fan and one for the ceiling fan light. The lights have worked fine a couple of times when we were moving in, the other times nothing happens with any of the switches. Last night nothing was happening and I guess I left them in the on position. My husband was plugging his phone into one of the outlets in the room and the lights flashed on. He did it a couple more times, same thing. Then he tested outlets in the room and nothing happened. So whatever is happening it appears to be related to this one outlet. Do you think switching out the outlet would fix the issue or do you think its something more complex?

@minasmom123,
Wow golly Pete Min! There are at least a half dozen other 'lectr'n'c folk on a2k who might be able to help better'n me [Eng help, where ya been....], but I suspect you have an interaction problem where one system interferes with another, very common in the modern digi world where the slightest stray field with the click'va switch or plug'va 'fone causes a completely unpredicted phenom of one sort or 'nother

Sncce my BH gives me only Tue and Thu to do this kinda stuff, which interferes with any potential help I might otherwise provide her out in the garden, I hafta pull back for a while; but I'll sure think about this....

Edited to remark, hey you must be a newcomer, Mom, and mebbe no Prof 'cause ur afraid of the consequences of revelation. But some of us [(2 or 3 outa mebbe 100,000] welcomerswould like to know about you so I for one am [email protected]

...nd oh 123, if you're esl so don't 'stand a word I'm sayin', pse lemme know, I'm not the least offended. But there's no wayta know....
