Question Miss Call

Hello there,



If I rang someone once..Just one ring (on purpose). Is that called a 'Miss Call' or a 'Missed Call'? or something else?



shall I say 'I left you a missed call' or 'I left you a miss call'



Thaks a lot

Default Re: Miss Call

Hello Isa

Not quite – you have a "missed call" when your phone rings, but you don't reach it in time. But you can't really leave someone a missed call.

I would say "I let your phone ring". So if you're arranging it as a signal, for instance, you might say "I'll let your phone ring once when I get home".

Bye

MrP
