Some Mexicans answer the phone, "Bueno", which I presume is just a shortened version of "Good Day". When I was first married, my wife used to call me to pick her up about the same time of day. One day I answered the phone, "Bueno". She hung up.
I was laughing so hard I could barely get my "Bueno" out when she called back - I think the laughing clued her in that she hadn't actually dialed the wrong number.
Italy's "Pronto" surprised me the first time I called my sister, who was living in Italy for a year. Not only was I not sure I had dialed the right number, but I felt like I was supposed to hurry up and say whatever I had to say.

In Japan: hai, Moshi Moshi. I think the person calling talks first.
In Turkey: Allo? (They like using French loanwords)
Spain: the one being called, uh, commands first: Diga (literally, talk) or Buena (Well?!).

In France and some other francophone countries they say "Alo" - pronounced ah-low. (Just to note, I'm not really sure how to spell the greeting, just what it is - I actually think there's a little hat over the 'o').

In Russia you say "allo". Some people may also say "da" which means "yes" or "slushayu" which would be translated as "speaking" in English.

since we are english speaking here. Most people also say hello. Then maybe add "sino po sila" or who is this. (Philippines)
