I don't know if you're anything like me, but I receive a lot of "wrong number" phone calls; on my home phone, on my cell phone, it doesn't matter. Usually, if I'm fortunate enough to answer (LOL), I simply go through the usual ritual of me: "you have the wrong number," and then them: "I'm sorry." I even receive wrong number texts, of which the same back-and-forth ritual usually applies.
My problem is, what do you do when a wrong number leaves a voice mail? Are you obligated to dial the number back and inform them that they have the wrong number? What if it sounds like important news? I can accept the simple etiquette of putting a misplaced mail envelope out on the mailbox to be redelivered by the mail person to the correct person, but I mean really, isn't it too much to go through to phone every single person who leaves a "wrong number" message on your phone (Like I said, I get a lot of them)? And, if you don't and the real person never receives the message, is it your fault?
So I'd like to know, just what is the proper "wrong number voice mail" etiquette?
