The Saddest Wrong Number Call I had EVER had to Return

aw that is really sad and that would have been bad if she would have thought her friend was mad at her. i use to get wrong numbers all the time but the weirdest was this elderly lady and she always called my number by mistake and one time she called and was like "ricky you better get your butt here right now" and my names james. i had to stop her yelling and tell her she had the wrong number. it was so funny.

When someone called asked for someone with my name and it wasn't me they wanted. My favorite calls to get, and this is a little off topic, is when the military calls to talk to my youngest bro to see if he wants to join the army. We explain he can't talk, he is none verbal, and even if you could he has downs and autism. There all oh i am sorry blah blah blah, but then they call AGAIN!!! All together it has happened about 10 times. And better yet he is now getting calls from bill collectors, now how on earth does he have a bill somewhere???? He never has to pay for anything.

Oh, that is so sad!!! I'm so glad that you returned the call, and for your sake, that you got the lady's voice mail. Atleast she knew that her words didn't disappear and that her friend wasn't mad at her, and you managed to avoid a more uncomfortable situation. I hope things turn out alright for her.

How Sad Moonlit....to think someone laid all this out to someone and got the wrong number..you are such a sweetie to call back and tell her what happened.. I've never had something like that except when i had a house phone, I'd get a phone call from a jail someone wanted to call someone and if you answer then you are paying a charge for them, so i never answered..they probably thought the person wanted them to stay in jail..

Not al wrng numbers are actually so wrong that you can not hear them out, but some are painful. The situation you talk of is reaily painful to avoid.

Oh my goodness that is so sad. How horrible for the person, assuming she thought she had the right phone number. Wow. I've never gotten a call like that and hope to never have to deal with such a thing.

I had my weidiest wrong number. i was the one to call and im trying to call my bank for balance inquiry and i was alone that time with my friend baby. i put speaker so that we can watch the baby even im doing my balance inquirt with the phone, but to my shocked action i almost run or shout. There was a weird voice from with in and its like not in the bank,,,its not yet ringging...a ghost or a lost soul?

Well hopefully judy got everything straightened out. My strangest wrong number was while i was at work. I worked as tech support for a dsl company and this elderly lady called up and started telling me her bill was too high. I told her she needed to call our billing dept and preceded to give her the number. She then asked me if I was with the water company. (I almost laughed but held it in) "No mam, Im sorry you have the dsl tech support" Then she said "Oh well can you give me their number?" I said No mam we dont have that info here. She kept insisting I find the number so I finally asked "what city and state do you live in?" She told me and I went online and looked it up for her. Gave her the number , then she said Cant YOU connect me I am blind" So, I put her on hold dilaed the number then transferred her over. I didnt have to but I thought it was the nice thing to do. I dont know if she ever got her bill fixed or not but at least I got her to the RIGHT person. (I HOPE) lol

That's a very sad story. So here's a more cheerful one. I used to have an elderly aunt who was very eccentric. One day her phone rang and a woman asked if she could speak to "Flossie". "She's drunk", my aunt replied. "What? Again!" came the reply. "Well I'm phoning from Australia and this call has cost me a fortune so I'll talk to you instead." They chatted for about 10 minutes! It was a wrong number of course. LOL.

That's really sad . I've never gotten a phone call that bad, but I DID receive one before that was a lady and a little boy or girl singing happy birthday! The call happened NEAR my birthday and my friend's birthday, pretty much right inbetween both of our birthdays. The caller was asking for Lisa but the call went to my number. It confused me, I thought maybe they were trying to call her but called me. NOW I think it was just a wrong number that came at the right time. It was pretty cute.

Oh my goodness, I dont usually answer the phone if its someone I dont know, and thankfully I haven't gotten many strange calls I'm not sure I would have known how to handle a call like the one you spoke of.

Hi moonlitmagikchild. the post was really sad, and weird. I also had received a weird phonecall before. There was this guy who incessantly called our home phone one night and always asked for a certain Mr. Alvarez. I told him this is the wrong number he's calling but he insisted that it's the right one. I let the phone hang for about an hour. He called again about 3 hours after I put the phone back properly and still asked for the same person I told him to stop calling or else I'll report this incidence to the cops and I have his caller ID (I was just bluffing that time but it worked). The weird phonecall stopped after that.

You are such a nice person for taking the trouble to return that call as most people would just ignore it. Cheers to you! So far, I do not have any weird wrong number case but I did get lots of annoying wrong number case. One of them is when this girl kept on calling my number thinking that my number belongs to a guy that she knew. I kept on telling her that she has got the wrong number and she kept on telling me that I am lying and I am trying to hide that person away from her. She would call many times in a day and that lasted for a few weeks. She would even get other people to call on her behalf and all of them thought that I was lying but finally it had stopped. The other annoying called was when my phone number had almost the same last digit with a bus company. mine last 4 digit is 2076 and the bus company's last 5 digit was 20762. If the caller forgot to dial the right prefix, the phone will just dial up to 2076 and the call would be coming to my cellphone. Especially during school holidays or festive seasons, I would have to answer lots of those calls from people trying to buy bus tickets and I had to explain to them how to dial correctly to get to the bus company. That went on for a few years but now I think the bus company is already using a different number. Well, those are my two most annoying wrong number cases. Cheers!

OK, it was nothing like that! When I was younger, I received a call from a chick looking for some dude! I don't remember if I had caller ID or not, but anyway, I told her it was the wrong number, she said ok and hung up. The phone rings again and it was her, she asked my name, I tells her, she says I have a sexy voice, I say thank u! We talked for awhile and she wanted to go out, we never did, but that was the weirdest wrong number call I've ever gotten! Taripre$

I can see why you felt the need to return that call, I would have had to do the same thing. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

hi moonlitmagikchild I got one wrong number that I was so glad was not the right number. this man w ent on and on about how angry he was at someone named May and was really 'abusive to the point that I thought about calling the police'and telling them about it, but all I had was a strange man who called himself Paul talking to someone he thought was May somebody. So I just c alled the number, got a womans voice mail and told her that a Paul had c alled a May on myanswering machine and that was definitley a wrong number. then I deleted it before it worried me anymore. Now I am curious to know if the woman was May or not May. She had just used her married Name Mrs. Sitvers. so I will never know about Paul who was furious with May.

hhmmn.. do you think that's coincidence? The same that you know? And the same name that she know..? Hmmn.. That's creepy if it is a coincidence.. whew... ahm, nothing ever happened to me like that.. wish that it will not happen.. hehe..

That's sad but it's great that you called back to let them know. I really wish that people would listen to the voice mail greeting before leaving a message. Ours says 'hi, you've reached my name and the fiance's name, please leave a message'. But we still get messages for other people. For a while we had people calling for someone else telling us that someone had just had a baby and a whole bunch of other stuff. You would think that when no one called back the first time and that since some strange name was on the greeting they would put two and two together. We have also got calls from law firms and collection agency for the last FIVE years for the person who had our number before us. I usually call those back and tell them to get our # off their file. I guess they don't listen to the greeting or know how to check the white pages either.
