What started as a phone number dialing error has blossomed into an unexpected relationship between two people.

A man Mike Moffitt one certain day got an unknown call from someone who he would later identify to be Gladys.

The unknown caller would continually make the mistake for months, then months turned to 20 years.

Sharing the beautiful story on Facebook, Mike said the unknown caller who is aged had wanted to get across to her daughter in Maryland, US where their area code is 410 but kept dialing his line whose code is 401.

The Rhodes Island, US resident said each time Gladys, a resident of Florida, calls him by mistake, she would hang up until he stopped her one day, Igbere TV learnt.

The kindhearted man said he suggested to Gladys that they know each other well since she kept making the mistake despite him clarifying that it is a wrong number.

"Her daughter lives in Maryland (area code 410 vs 401) she kept calling saying OMG I have the wrong number and would hang up quick. I finally stopped her before she hung up and said hey if we're gonna talk like this we might as well get to know each other," he wrote.

Mike, a father of five, said never really considered a first meet-up until the opportunity seemed to present itself.

It was gathered that Mike and family decided to spend the thanksgiving in Florida, he also used the opportunity to look for school for his eldest daughter. While driving around one Wednesday, Mike realized that Gladys house was only 2.3 miles away and decided to pay her a surprise visit.

Mike bought her flowers after which they hugged and took selfie together. When she saw him, the first words that escaped her mouth were, ''I'm blessed.''

My story of a wrong number....

Gladys...she continually called the wrong number 20 years ago (my number with a different area code). She lives in Delray Beach, Fl and for years she was just Florida Lady in my phone. Her daughter lives in Maryland (area code 410 vs 401) she kept calling saying OMG I have the wrong number and would hang up quick. I finally stopped her before she hung up and said hey if we're gonna talk like this we might as well get to know each other. We've talked every few months for the last 20 years in the most bizarre but normal way. Today we met. I brought her flowers for Thanksgiving and finally got to meet. Didn't tell her I was coming and her daughter walked me through the door. I announced, "I'm Mike from Rhode Island!" and the first words out of her mouth where "I'm blessed!!" There are incredible people in this World that are a wrong number phone call away..

I've gotten wrong numbers from all over the country myself

Sometimes it is the fault of the network, or the fault of the GSM company recycling old lines

20 good years...
Imagine say na 4 Naija, you know the rest

Make I begin try my luck.. Hopefully, it'll end well too

Leverage2021:
At least you fit blame old age on the woman

For here na dirty aboki dey dial us wrong number

You go speak am for pigin say na wrong number but dem brain na millipede

Better leave that bigotry of yours behind.

It isn't the person's fault, blame the GSM company for recycling an old line and the man's friend for not informing him he changed his line.

It can be confusing when you call a certain number expecting to hear from someone and hear a strange voice. Happened to me too when I called a number of an old friend that I had not called in years only to get a strange voice. Educated me reacted in confusion

I personally know a story similar to this

A man mistakenly calling the landline of a house someone i know used to stay in back when landline was still widely used
He was probably trying to call someone else but the call sometimes gets connected to her house

They ended up meeting up, and he took her abroad in the long run

This is a beautiful story.

In 9ja, aboki and wrong number are 5&6

Oyibo like wahala

Heads from her pussy have more Bright future than you in this Nigerian system.
