Narrative:
Climbing above FL310 on our way to FL340; ATC informed us that we were on the wrong frequency and that our assigned altitude was FL280. We had 340 in the altitude preselector. We believed we were assigned FL340. The controller said he issued a new frequencey 134.02 instead of a new altitude (FL340). We leveled off at FL320 and contacted the new frequencey.
