(FOX 11) - If someone texts or calls you from a wrong number, you can politely let the person know they have the wrong number -- or perhaps just ignore it.

This happened to Deorick Williams, whose number was accidentally added to a group text message celebrating the birth of a new baby.

He eventually got the name of the hospital and the room number from the happy couple, and he and his brother Dennis showed up with gifts for the newborn and the family!

Williams shared screenshots of his conversation to Facebook, and the pictures have since gone viral.

This is the rare example of when texting the wrong number actually goes.. right.
