Every call I’ve ever had that was a wrong number, misdailed number, pocket dial or whatever that wasn’t supposed to be for me turned out to be a spam call or marketing call for something. Most of the time, it was a way for me to confirm my number to some dumb marketer.
For the past year or two, I answer all mysterious calls I don’t recognize and put it immediately on ‘mute’. If the person calling doesn’t identify themselves … I let them hang up first and then I just block the number. If they identify themselves with some weird marketing message … I let them hang up and then block the number.
Literally today my wife tried calling me while I was at the store, just by clicking the phone button in the text message thread, but the call went to someone completely different, a woman in a noisy environment. The call showed in her log as the correct number so I assume it’s a glitch from the phone company.
