Answer the phone...?

Question

Instead of saying hello, what would you prefer to say when you answer the phone?

Answer 1

what up girlfriend or baby

Answer 2

I'm not sure...but it's kind of funny that we continue to say "hello" in these days of caller ID. More often than not, we know the person calling. But I - and many others - still answer with the generic greeting, and even still sound questioning, like we don't know who it is.

Answer 3

I used to say "Moshi moshi" (That's how the Japanese answer the phone!) but people just kept thinking I was saying "washing machine" and I got tired of explaining. So, I say a hello that sounds more like "Yello".

Answer 4

Ahoy hoy, the well Alexander Graham Bell intended.

Answer 5

Business like...Good morning/afternoon, then state name of office/business.

Fun like...(works when you have caller id)...say you recognize that Bob is calling...then you answer and say "Hi...is Bob there?" Really freaks them out...a great laugh

Answer 6

Answer 7

My ideal answer for the phone: Who the hell is this and why are you bothering me?

Answer 8
