wrong number
Accidental phone call
A wrong number is a phone call that reaches someone other than the intended recipient, usually from misdialing: Sorry, wrong number.
The phrase extends to any mistaken contact or identification: If you think I'm going to help you cheat, you've got the wrong number.
