    The best wrong call came from an elderly lady who started singing happy birthday as soon as I picked up. It was very sweet and my birthday had been the previous week, but my grandma was no longer around.

      Mine was a bit darker. Some old lady claiming someone was trying to kill her. Then went off that completely and just wanted to ramble about random things until they hung up.
      I looked up the police for that area code and requested a wellness check, based only on the phone number. Don’t know if they ever did it or what became of her.

    This was early 2010s and still lived in my first apartment. Had a lady call and demand I give her sisters phone back to her. Tried to explain I didn't have a cell phone, this was a landline she was calling. She didn't believe me strong enough to actually sick the police on me. Apparently the lady whos number I supposedly stole, had her phone line deactivated due to lack of payment, and she tried to tell people she had her iPhone stolen, and the person who had the number (me) was the one who stole it. Imagine the look the police had when they had the lady dial the iPhone, only to have my landline ring instead. At least the cops were cool about it, and thought the whole thing was an irritating waste of time, but the value of the phone, and the nature of the complaint that was filed, warranted a follow up. One of them even gave me an old cordless set they had at their place which actually did have caller id, and helped me get the deranged womans number blocked from calling me. It got bad enough I had to unplug the phone, and only plugged it in when I had to call family or my friends.

    The best story for this question was an answer I'd heard from one of these types of stories ages ago about how someone called a number while working for something that was a cold calling company and I THINK they got something like the US Pentagon or some other major government body and the people on the other side freaked and were all "How'd you get this number?!" because it wasn't supposed to be callable by outside numbers and was for like... Nuke warnings or war commands or something insane.

    I once got a series of text messages from a guy who had ostensibly been dumped by his ex. He was raging on her and used a lot of foul language. I couldn't bring myself to tell him he was texting the wrong number, because I didn't want to subject his ex to the texting. I just ignored it and it eventually stopped. I don't know whether he realized it was the wrong number or he just got over the breakup. I hope it was the latter.

    Sometimes I get wrong number voicemails in a foreign language and they sound angry. Once I used google translate to detect the language in a follow up text and texted back in both languages: “You have the wrong number and I don’t speak any Spanish.“ They texted back a bunch of times in Spanish. I google translated it every time and it was all death threats and crap like “you f*cking a**hole!”. I blocked her eventually

    The robo calls to the house land line got so bad that any person I gave the number to was told to let it ring twice, hang up, and call again. Ever since I got a cell phone with caller I.D., if I don't recognize the number I don't pick up. IF they leave a message I call back. Technology is great in some ways.

    But when i got into SMS history with this number, like maybe i talked with them before but forgot, I HAD history with them, even tho it was only couple of non-informative messages from both sides.

    I've had the same number for about fifteen years. For the past five or so, I've been getting random offers directed to someone i've never met to buy a house i've never lived in.
    My guess is that somebody put in a number wrong when filling out some real estate form, and since he's not getting these calls and texts there's no reason to change it.
    I used to get annoyed, especially when i'd get two or three calls a day, but now it's infrequent enough that it doesn’t bother me. Whoever you are, i hope you're doing well, sir.

She didn't believe me and said she was going to send the police to arrest me for not showing up to meet with her. I was like ok but they will be shocked when they come to my house. This woman is in a town about and hour and a half from where I live. The officer asked where I live, I told her the name of the town I live in and she was like oh....never heard from her again.

    I have two wrong number calls I can think of. One was from a Jamaican guy calling his friend, he was polite when I told him it was the wrong number and hung up, and another was from a guy using a voice filter to deepen his voice and private number yelling at me for busting up his mailbox. He wouldn't believe me when I told him he had the wrong number and threatened my life if I did it again. It's been a few years and he hasn't called back since, so I'm guessing he got that situation resolved or at least figured out that he called the wrong number. I'm assuming he knew, or at least had a good idea of, who the mailbox smasher was and meant to call their number, instead.

I repeated “I never called you” in a slightly firm voice and hung up. I checked my call history and screenshotted it just in case she was one of those crazy types who’d call the police for “harassment”. Looking back she was either crazy, on substances or dialed the wrong number. But why dial? Just click the number in your call history!

    I had a couple. One funny. One creepy.
    The funny one is at the time I was running an anime club, and one of my friends called our friend, let's say fake name 'Zeke'. He called 'Zeke' and asked him if he was coming to club that night. We were told by 'Zeke' that he was in Las Vegas. Weird that he didn't mention that to us, but whatever. Only for our Zeke to show up about ten minutes later. Having no clue what we were on about. (Also this was before Texting was really all that common)
    Well curious I had to know. I called the number my friend dialed and found out(and explained to the other guy) what happened. Turns out that yes, that guy was named Zeke. The wrong number just happened to be to a guy who shared our friend's name. I think he was in some club too. Can't believe the odds.
    Creepy one. Used to get a call from this one number like two or three times a week. Always. ALWAYS at times like 1 or 3am in the morning. Never left a voice mail. Would call and just ring till it stopped.
    I looked the number up online to see if I could figure out what it might belong to, and find a reddit post (or something similar. This was back in like. 2009 or 2010.) Anyway the person who made the post is talking about how they are getting called by it too. I can't remember if he said if you answer it or call back you get a busy signal. It was one or the other and I did try it and sure enough a busy signal.
    Only thing the guy could find out about the number, at least according to them, was it used to belong to an apartment complex. That had apparently burned down. (Again according to them.)
    Had this happen for a good long while till it eventually just stopped. The thing is, during these calls I think I changed numbers and the calls followed me...
