How to Say "Oh, you have the wrong number / This isn't the right number" in Korean — 아, 전화 잘못 거셨어요 / 여기 아닌데요 (a, jeon-hwa jal-mot geo-syeoss-eo-yo / yeo-gi a-nin-de-yo)

Why Koreans say it this way

여기 아닌데요 (this isn't here/the right place) is a super common way to say wrong number. If YOU called wrong: 죄송합니다, 잘못 걸었어요 (sorry, I dialed wrong). Koreans get wrong-number calls a LOT from spam.

Situation: phone
