Somebody calls you on your mobile, their caller ID appears telling you who it is..?

Question

do you still answer the phone with a "hello?" as if you don't knw who they are, and when they identify themselves you do the "ooohhh hiya" as if you didnt know it was them in the first place..
or is that just me lol, i found myself doing that this morning...

Answer 1

I still say Hello like I don't know who it is. I have no idea why though.

Answer 2

Since you have to dial the prepaid card phone, your number doesn't appear on the caller id of the person you're calling. You will be safe :). Also you can try *67 before you dial any number and your number will be blocked so no body will now the number you're calling from.

Answer 3

Well I still am cautious when answering the phone even if a caller ID comes up.

Just because their caller ID comes up, doesn't actually mean it them on the phone. It could be a friend or relative of the person.

Answer 4

when my b/f calls me its normally " what?" or "yeah" he gets no hello what so ever LOL

when its family / friends its a Hello - but cheerful

if i don't know who it is its a agravated HELLO
since my number is only given to a select few people i do NOT use it on any forms - I still haven't fiqured out how ppl get my number if i don't know who they are
and i really hate the late night "wrong numbers" they really make me mad specially when they HIT REDIAL and call back 3-4 times after i tell them they got the wrong number - or they get a attitude like I don't know what i'm talking about and THEY DIDNT dial the number wrong They end up getting ripped a new A-hole

Answer 5

Sometimes i do that. Most of the time though, I speak to them regularly, only if the person on the phone is not who the Caller ID says it is.

Answer 6

no I always say " Hi Rosse" or who ever is calling me. But whats funny is my good friend Jennifer when she calls me and she knows that all cells phone has caller id she still says this " Hi This Is Jennifer" I recently mention this to her she was cracking up , she never realized until I told her!!!...lol

Answer 7

I answer with a regular hello. Everyone kind of assumes I already know it's them.

Answer 8

I am usually answering hands free and can't see the number, so i usually answer with the company name, if my mum rings she says "hello, it's me...your mother", now that's weird!

Answer 9

of course you say hello or hiya x politeness costs nothing x

Answer 10

I usually say hi to them by name
