What is the proper way to answer a telephone?

Hello, Chuck speaking.

say hello........

Hello?

Hello?

It depends on where you are, and whos phone you are answering.

Pick up the receiver, put the ear piece next to your ear, and speak into the other end.

scream really loud and then hang up....or you could just say hello

HI,,, hello this is the ---- residence whom would you like to speak to?


good luck

1. Jello
2. Sup?
3. Your dime

"Speak Now"

Just don't say--YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA , or Watch Want?

The proper greeting could be something like...........

"" Hi there, this is Larry, can I help you? ""

Too often I have heard ""DAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"" or the likes.

hello, whom do you wish to speak to?

sign up for do not call registry for eliminatining soliciations.....

hello...so and so...residents...


so that people can know who they are speaking with and whether they have the wrong number

I like the European way--they say-- hello this is Mary Jones to whom am i speaking. But then they are much more polite then we are. So I guess Hello is OK

depends. when you call thedoctor or a store you don't want to hear 'hello' - businesses usually identify the business and the person and say something like how may i help you or how may i direct your call. if you speak a differernt language then hello might not be it.
if you are sharing the phone, you have to work it out. some people like to be cool or fancy, so that's fine. trust me they will change to 'hello' when they are trying to get a job.

Pick the phone up, put it to your ear, and say "hello".

Depends on environment:
Home
hello
howdy
work:
name of business and"how can I help you"?
Etc.

Pick up the phone....wait 10 seconds and say (in a realy soft voice) "Is this the FBI?"

1. put phone to ear and scream then hang up and through phone on flour
