How do you react when you call back a phone number on your phone?

...and the party says they didn't even call you. It later rings several times, I later call back and the caller yells at me.

This is driving me crazy. Any ideas? I can't block the phone number on my t-mobile phone.

    I usually don't call back numbers on my phone. If it's a number I don't recognize, and no message was left, I just ignore it.

    If it happened just once, and I called and someone said they didn't call, I would assume that maybe someone else in the household did, or it was a wrong number, or maybe some numbers got hit while the phone was in a pocket/purse.

    The way I understand what you're saying, this has happened more than once, so I guess in your situation, I might try to catch them sometime as they are calling (rather than calling back later) and ask them what is up. If that didn't work, I'd just punch ignore when I saw the number pop up. It'll stop eventually, I'm sure. Not worth stressing over. :)

    When that happens to me, I just say (very cheerfully) "OK, I guess the phone must have been in your pocket and your butt dialed me. Thank you!" .

    That usually stops it, I don't know if the person becomes more careful or what- but it works for me.

    I ask if they called me and if they said they didn't, I'd be confused.
