Contest: What's the word for a calling misadventure?
As 'typo' is for writing, ??? is for a call made in error.
I often launch a conference call or dial a contact accidentally, or get called by someone who clicked the wrong button. We furtively apologize but lack a simple word to describe our error. Nothing as simple as "typo."
What should we call it?

How about callerr...pronounced differently from caller.
More like Call Err!
Cheers.
Simple... it's a "dial-o".
:-)
Hah- "dial-o" ... that gets my vote.
Bad Call!
I usually call it a misdial, but dial-o is also fun to say
Some options:
DTMF'd (no other meaning there :-) as in oops I dtmf'ed the wrong number
or
MisD'd as in Sorry I misd'd the number.
"Ah oh, dial-o". Dial-o is the way to go and gets my vote.
