Came home to a message on my home phone

I am still brand new at this responding to the post thingy, I accidentally commented under the one above...I'll figure it out.:)

Yes, I think that I would, I think that if I had picked up that the person sounded upset then I would. It would not be fair not too, and it might cause a fall out in a family too! I would only do it if I thought the person sounded nice though, I would not do it for anyone.

It would depend on the message. If it was like what you descibed then yes I would return the call to explain. Recently s/o got a voice message on his cell that was definitely not for him...it was from a guy to another guy and mentioned his "sweet @ss" and "hooking up" later...and those were the polite parts. We did not call to explain it was a wrong number.

i think that if the woman sounded desperate I would make an attempt to contact her. Two weird things have happened to me ion the past that might make me a little suspicious though. Firstly I received a message once from a man asking me to call him back. I didn't notice that it was a premium number and did so. I then had about five minutes of abuse about having an affair with the guy's wife - which I hadn't. IN fact the call was a tape and a prank that cost me about $20! Secondly, I had a message once from a man, I know not who, who used my actual first name, and said that he had the pictures and would meet me at the prison at 2 o'clock! How I wished I could know more about that one.

Yes I would also have called her back, I would hate to think of her waiting on her mum calling her back when she had not received the phone call.

I have let people know they left a message at the wrong number...when the message sounds important. When its something like hey marsha call me...I dont. Once i had a lady leave a message for Sam saying that yes she needed a ride the next day to the hospital for her surgery and She would be ready by 7 am. I figured that was pretty important and i called her to let her know she had left it at the wrong number. She was very appreciative and was glad because after leaving the messae she hadnt tried Sam again.

If she was upset, I would call. We get wrong numbers all the time and half the time you can't understand the messgage

I have before. I think someone called to cancel a doctor's appointment and called me by mistake. I called them back and told them they left the message at a wrong number. I know some doctors will bill you if you don't cancel and appointment far enough in advance.

I have had that happen after getting a new phone number.Icalled the person and left a message letting them know what had happened.

I had something similar happen to me a few days ago.I live in a gated apartment complex witha car gate and a pedistrian gate. my phone rand and I answered it ; this sort of scared young sound came one,please can you let me in I forgot my key ": well I had no idea who the little boy was but we had a huge number of children here as it is a large complex so I said dont worry I will let you in just open the gate when the buzzer sounds so then I pressed nine on the phone keypad and hopefully the little guy got in. I dont know why he rang my code number but am guessing he was scared and pressed the first combination of numbers he saw. I got another call simalar but not quite this was a young woman who sounded very drunk and she said to me I am on Newport and i amn waiting well this time I did not buzz the gate as I don't think she lived here and again she just hit thefirst combo she saw.Several times I have got nurse calls to remind someone of their appointment with the doctor and it was for someone else so I looked up this persons phone number and told them about the message and was gratefully thanked.

Yes, I would have done the same thing. Before caller ID, I had a message from a Doctor, he was wanting the man to come in as soon as possible, the man's test results were in. I only had a first name, no way I could find out who this man was. I have always wondered how it turned out for that guy.

If it sounded like it was important, I would most definitely call them back. I would want someone to do the same for me. Good for you for letting her know her mom wasn't just ignoring her.

I will called the person back. imagine if it was my call andmy family, I will feel frustated if my family didnot call meback. And all just cause I dial the wrong number. It was the right thing to do. :)

I have the same problem. I constantly have people calling for the woman who had my number before me. And seriously they must want her real bad, they are still calling my house for her four years later. I tell them that I don't know her, and I have never known her, and to please stop calling. Well then I was getting mail for her,from the same people. You would think that the number of times I have sent it back to them that they would get the hint. I cannot get rid of these people, no matter what I have told them. They now call me from a private number, because I too have caller id. The wonders of technology, it is wonderful. But I ticks me off to the point that I now use a whistle to make them get the picture. She doesn't live here anymore. Anyone else out there that is going through the same thing I feel for you.

I would if you could tell it was something important. I get a lot of wrong numbers. However, I have left a few messages and never get a call back. Then realize I have the wrong number. Sometimes I would call a number a few times a day. If the people would just call me back and tell me I had that wrong number I would have been very appreciative. But no, they get mad you call 10 times a day, go figure. If someone leaves one message and didnt sound important I havnt called back. But when people call over and over I do call back just to tell them they have the wrong number.

We also have caller id, and when we move plan to have it for ourselves. Depending on the number (area it was from) and the sound of the person's voice, I would answer or call back. If the person sounded as if they were pranking or if they weren't that concerned, or possibly mad I would definitely not consider calling back.

Yea if I got a message that was important for someone that wasn't in my home. If it were an unimportant message then probably not. I'd definitely appreciate it if the person called me back to let me know of the mistake.
