Narrative:
Departing out of dfw sbound, we may have taken the instructions from departure control that may have been intended for another aircraft. At the time, the communication was very busy -- many aircraft, many stepped-on instructions. We 'confirmed' instructions to turn left to 080 degrees to intercept 094 degree radial and to switch frequency of 130.25. After switching to 130.25, we were advised that we were on the wrong frequency. We switched back to 118.55 only to be berated and verbally assaulted by controller. I contend that we complied specifically with instructions from the controller.
