Receiving "missent txt msgs" how do you handle them?

Sometimes, I will just ignore this kind of messages, but like you I have replied to a few messages before because it's like I was the original recipient. There was one time when I received a text asking something like, "Boss, do you want me to purchase the flight ticket?" Then, I just answered, "Yes.." Well, I haven't received any message from this person again.

If I received "missent tex messages" and the if I think these messages is very important,I will reply and tell he/she that he/she make a mistakes!But I usually let the missed tex messages alone!Have a nice day!

If the message seemed to be urgent, I resend it. And letting the sender know it was sent wrongly. But if I still receive messages with the same number and the messages are not really important, I just ignore it.

I like how you responded. That made me laugh. I haven't had that happen but i believe my fiance's mother had that problem. The guy just wouldn't stop texting the wrong number and not just that it was improper stuff. She kept calling him telling him to stop . He would stop for a while then pick it back up. She hasn't said nothing more of it but i think they blocked the number.

It depends on what kind of message is mis sent. Sometimes there are those who are really unintentional. I just laugh on it and tease the person who accidentally send the message on me. But if it is a way of getting attention, I don't mind it. Don't even react on it. But then one of my unforgettable experience is a text message in which I found out that my partner was cheating on me. The message for the third party supposedly was accidentally was sent to me. That was the end of the relationship.

I think it was circa 1997... the time when text messaging was still very young. I received a missent message. I read the message and saw the urgency of the content so I immediately replied and informed the person that the message was missent. All I can say is until this very day, I am still friends with that guy. Friendship can start in different ways - our started with a missent text message. :)

I usually ignore them most especially if they are just forwarded messages. But if the message is important I text back the sender to inform him that he has missent his message. That way he would know and resend it to the proper party.

It depends on the message really, I'd usually send it back to the sender with a note that they miss sent their text message. But there are message which are really obviously sent as a prank hoping that you answer them back, i tend to ignore these kind of messages.

It depends really, if it sounds something serious then I'd respond back saying that I wasn't the person he/she was supposed to send the message to. Otherwise, I just ignore and go on with my life. There are those though who try to be smart and sends messages sounding urgent and when I do reply back stating that it wasn't for me, they'd start a conversation to which I no longer reply to. Another one would be calling and just looking for someone else, and when they hear an appealing voice they'd start to introduce themselves. This happens to me to now-a-days where calls are a lot cheaper and there are features like unlimited calls. It's really a bother that's why when the guy repeatedly calls, I'd have my brother answer it with a "Yes, Mr. President?" hahahaha... I tell you, they'd be long gone.

I jsut ignore them whenever i receive them. I don't even respond to messages whose numbers don't appear in my my contacts and they don't write their names in the messages. Don't mind them for you will just be wasting your time and money.

When somebody I know sent me a message by mistake, then I would reply and inform them about their mistake. However, if it's an unknown number, I simply ignore it. While I think some I receive are genuinely missent, I don't reply to any of them because I don't really feel like wasting my credits. I would probably reply only when the text become incessant. Also, as you say, it may be just a ploy to get a text friend or maybe even a scam. I've received quite a few talking about sending remittance or something that involves money, and I know for sure it's a scam. A long time ago though, I have replied to one or two telling them they made a mistake, and every time, I get a text asking for my name and if I want to be textmates etc etc. and of course, I have no inclination of that sort.

Nope. I don't answer missent text messages from unknown senders.. Cause you are right, sometimes they do it just to make you text back and get you into a conversation.. When a missent message comes from a friend, then that's the time that I reply to them, and tell them that it was a wrong sent.. or maybe joke them about the text specially if it's for their special someone or something, and the message is cheesy. hahaha.

I have not received a text that's not intended for me lately, but based on experience I just ignore it because i always thought that that SMS was meant to be sent to you on purpose. How would a stranger know my number in the first place? your friends numbers are saved in your phone book right? and when you send an SMS you send it to a name and not to a number... well there are exceptions of course. But I just feel it's waste of money if I send it back. What's more annoying is if its text message informing you that you've won the lottery...aaargh. But i bet there are people who fall for it, pity. Cheers!

it depends on the content of the message,i'll answer back and acknowledge her mistake on few messages which looks true,while ignore most missent messages.

It depends on how urgent the message is. If its like some quote or petty messages (usually ones pretending to be your relative asking for load), I just plain ignore it. Or maybe I'd send it back to the number and tell him/her he/she sent it to the wrong person. =)

I usually ignore the SMS but if it is from the person i know and if the content is important and urgent i usually send it back to the sender and sometimes add some quote. If i missed send the SMS if i receive no reply i usually give the person a ring and a follow up SMS to confirm if she received the text message i send.

I usually send them back with a note that it was misdirected. If he continues to send messages, I ignore them. Yes, there was a time that I was in a playful mood and I answered back and played along. That did not prove well as it irritated me later on. I learned from that experience and never did it again.

I don't reply. I completely ignore those texts. I am stingy :) I don't want to waste my P1.00 for a stranger. hehehehe Oh! I remember once I replied because I loaded an unlimited text... I informed the person that he sent his message to the wrong number, and then he replied, asking if we can be a text mate... I did not answer back anymore. I am not interested at all...

Hi manong: nice story and it's funny how she reacted after your answer. One time i receive a missent txt msgs, as i remember this person was upset with "me" because i haven't arrived but i don't answer. I felt a little guilty because it might be something urgent but at the same time i thought that was not my problem and that i don't even know who he/she was.
