Answer:
The Title 'Sorry, Wrong Number' has a deep meaning in terms of the drama's context. The story is about Mrs. Elbert Stevenson who is confined to her bed. While trying to call her husband, she overhears a conversation between two men who are planning the murder of a woman.
She finds that the woman is herself who stays near a bridge through which trains pass everyday. On the planned day of murder, she would be alone at home. While she tries to call police and many others and warn them that she is in danger, no one believes her because she has been suffering from anxiety disorder for many years.
In the end, the killer picks up police's phone and tells them that he is fine and he was trying to call someone else. Here comes the title 'Sorry, Wrong Number'.
