misdialed
Punched in incorrectly
Misdialed is the past tense of misdial—to dial a wrong number, whether by accident or confusion: I misdialed and got some stranger's voicemail.
The word applies to phone keypads and rotary dials alike, though the physical act of dialing has largely given way to tapping screens.
