Pradeep S2 might be working in night shifts (Like call centre inbound) and people in your office started dialling your number by mistake. Hence you keep on getting more missed calls at your absence and get wrong calls sometimes stating “Oh Sorry, I was trying someone else”<br />Please reveal the answer Pradeep.<br />Thanks,<br />Sasikala…<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-56059366239894157102012-03-12T16:18:15.541+05:302012-03-12T16:18:15.541+05:30Hi Pradeep,

As he/she is working from many days in same division his/her Ext# will be noted to many of them.<br />b) Next 'A' was moved to different division, say division2 and you were joined newly into that division(division1).<br />c) So, now (assuming) A's Ext# is assigned to you. <br />d)As this Ext# is noted to many of them, they simply dial this number without checking latest phone directory.<br /><br />Is this correct ?<br /><br />Regards,<br />Rajesh Kumar KovuriRajeshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-4287884045633638702009-11-10T15:19:10.080+05:302009-11-10T15:19:10.080+05:30Assign this Extn number to someone else and see if...Assign this Extn number to someone else and see if the same thing happens to him .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-72913927505420551672008-04-09T14:52:00.000+05:302008-04-09T14:52:00.000+05:30Pradeep, I think your extension number was close t...Pradeep, I think your extension number was close to the office general enquiry number. I mean say suppose your office number is 080-2596 8432 and your extension is 8433, generally people tend to call up enquiry desk and if it is found busy they think that the next number would also be the enuiry desk itself. <BR/><BR/>Like companies put their numbers as 2596 8432/3/4/5 so, I guess people just assumed that the next number would also route them to enquiry personnel.<BR/><BR/>This is a tricky puzzle infact but am just guessing here. I know this question was posted many days back but still this is for my curiosity.

That’s why some calls you made from your phone including that key are go wrong.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Thanks and Regards,<BR/><BR/>UMESH SAVGAVE<BR/>Software Test Lead.<BR/>Vyom Labs Pvt Ltd.<BR/>9822743321.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1164821059007700512006-11-29T22:54:00.000+05:302006-11-29T22:54:00.000+05:30@ Anonymous, You actually deserve a T-shirt for gi...@ Anonymous,<BR/><BR/> You actually deserve a T-shirt for giving an answer that no one gave but the T-Shirts are out of stock.<BR/><BR/>Keep trying!Pradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1164820281778019012006-11-29T22:41:00.000+05:302006-11-29T22:41:00.000+05:30You have disabled your ringtone.Do I win a T-shirt...You have disabled your ringtone.<BR/><BR/>Do I win a T-shirt?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21132099.post-1163258718731056362006-11-11T20:55:00.000+05:302006-11-11T20:55:00.000+05:30hiI am a starter...

Don't know if this is right or wrong, but I think it is a possibility.<BR/><BR/>You were working on something and you didn't want to be disturbed, so you switched off the ringer of your telephone. But you got so caught up with your job, you forgot to switch it back to the normal mode. So, the telephone stayed silent and you did not get to answer any calls. I thought about this, since you posted that the problem was on your end and there seemed to be no technical issues which I observed(or did I overlook it??
