Phone calls rarely go strictly to plan, especially when connections drop, voices cut out, or someone dials the wrong number. In this deck, you will learn how to handle misunderstandings, report audio glitches, and manage tricky call situations in Russian.

When someone dials your number by mistake, you can tell them politely 'Вы ошиблись номером', which means 'You have the wrong number'. To ask which number they intended to dial, say 'Простите, какой номер вы набираете?'.

Another natural spoken phrase to tell someone they reached the wrong destination or person is 'Вы не туда попали', literally 'You have got the wrong place'. If they are asking for someone unfamiliar, say 'Здесь нет такого человека', meaning 'There is no such person here'.
