Person on the fone is not the manager. Do I ask to speak to the manager?

Simply say "Thank you for the offer, however at this time I have decided to accept another opportunity more befitting my career goals."

I would speak to the person that interviewed you. Let them know that you are honored that they had offered you a position, but that you are unable to take it at this time due to another offer from another company you interviewed with. Thank them for their time and for allowing you to interview with them, but the opportunity being offered by the other company was more of what you were looking for.

They are not going to be "mad" - they aren't so blind to think that they are the only ones to interview you, or that would offer you a position. It happens more than anyone thinks. The good ones always get multiple offers. Just don't word it that you found something "better". It was more of what you were looking for. That way, if something doesn't work out for you at your new company, you could possibly call and inquire about any other open positions. A polite turn down goes a very long way with a company.

Good luck!

Just by communicating. Yes, you speak to the manager, or speak with the person that hired you for the position. But, make sure that you decline on good terms. You may want to go back if the other job is not what you expected.

Respond to the party who called right away, thank them for their courtesy and time. You are unable to accept at this time because you have accepted another position. This will free them to contact their next choice and get their position filled. You can follow up with a nice note to the interviewer/ manager if you wish.

To b fair, u must tell them when they call. Nothing wrong at all, we do get a fair number of successful candidates who decline after all, n we understand. But this is, if u'v not signed any commitment to them yet! Preferably, tel the manager or his staff but don't delay anymore.

You just tell the manager you decline

K.I.S.S. - Keep it simple silly.
Just say thanks, tell them you will not be taking up their offer at this time. Do it in a way you will appear professional. This is not the first time the company had a reject from a candidate. They will understand.

You never know.... you may need them later. You may even do business with them thru the other employer. It is never a good idea to antagonize anybody in the business world.

Tell the manager you have a better offer on the table and would they like to present better on their behalf.

Politely tell them thank-you for the offer but at this time, you are not interested in the position.
