Just say, " I'm sorry, you have the wrong number. " If they persist , then say, " I really can't help you . Please call the operator for assistance. " and hang up. Some people will get insistent they DO have the right number, or you are lying, or some other crazy thing. Don't even engage in any conversation with them . Same goes for telemarketers. Just " No , thank you. " and hang up.

Why we need to say that I'm sorry when you dial a wrong number?

Technically, we don't "need" to say this. It's simply one of the many rules of etiquette. We could just say "screw you, so-and-so can't be reached at this number" and hang up the phone, but most of us won't do this: after all, we wouldn't want someone speaking that way to us. When we say "I'm sorry", we aren't actually apologizing to the person who has dialed the wrong number. "Sorry" stems from the root word "sorrow". Often, the phrase "I'm sorry" expresses empathy with someone else's tribulations. In the case of a wrong number, we're basically sympathizing with the embarrassment and inconvenience the person who has dialed wrong is possibly experiencing.

How do you call an out-of-state number if dialing 1 does not help?

If you dialed 1 + area code + number and the call did not go through, the likely causes are: (1) You dialed the wrong number, (2) Although it is in a different state, the number you are dialing is a local call, and you live in an area that requires that you not dial '1' on local calls, or (3) Your phone is out of order.

What does it mean when you call someone and the person says the call cannot be completed?

When a call cannot be completed, it usually means that the system is overloaded or disrupted in some way and was unable to cause the phone at the other end to ring. Sometimes it means that you dialed the wrong number.
