Does this expression make sense?
Is it possible to say, "What number did you want?" instead of saying, "what number did you dial? You have the wrong number."
Top answer
It's possible, but not very logical. When a person calls, they want to speak with a person, not a number. A: I want to speak with Doctor Who.
