Wrong Number (Text Version)
Do you know who these people are? I don’t. I received these photos in quick succession as a text (I’m assuming by mistake). Its the first time that I’ve received text messages sent to the wrong number. I guess its not to surprising, since people dial the wrong number all the time when dialing phone numbers for voice calls, so why should it be any different for text messages?
I sent them a reply message thanking them for their photos, and letting them know they sent them to the wrong number in case they wanted to try to send them again to the actual intended recipient. I haven’t heard back yet.
I would assume that wrong numbers and for both voice messages and text messages are in decline, based on the increased use of cell phones and subsequent implied use of address books. This would mean that there is a decreased chance of mis-dialing a regularly dialed number. On the other hand, there could be an increase in wrong numbers if we think about the increase in social communication, and that most wrong numbers or made when dialing non-routine numbers.
Anyone have any idea if dialing the wrong number is increasing or decreasing?
