How do you greet people when using a mobile?

**Dell** · 06-02-2006, 12:23 PM

"Hello, slaves!"

**Levian** · 06-02-2006, 12:23 PM

"You've got 10 seconds before I hang up. READY SET GO!"

I don't like it when people waste my time on silly things like socializing.

**Shauna** · 06-02-2006, 12:37 PM

"Hello" or "Hey" and if it's someone I know... "Hiya!". ...Yeah. xD

**~SapphireStar~** · 06-02-2006, 12:37 PM

If its someone I want to talk to or havent heard from in awhile, Im like "Hi!" very cheepy and happy. However, if its someone Im not happy with its a dull "Hello."

**Giga Guess** · 06-02-2006, 01:12 PM

"Yello?"

**Peter_20** · 06-02-2006, 05:04 PM

"Hello?" or just "Yeah?" :rolleyes2

That'll be "Hallå?" or "Ja?" for me.

various greetings of "hello", but different tones. i curse my brother whenever he calls for like the fourth time in a row, xD...

Depends on who's calling me. If it's someone at home calling me, I normally say Hello Home! And wait for the person to identify themselves before actually greeting them.

If it's Matt, normally I say "Hello darling" but I also say that to most other people who call me.

Sometimes if it's my friend/formerroommate Laura I shout inane things and hang up, but that's because she'll laugh really hard.

If it's an unknown number, I normally don't pick up xD

**XxSephirothxX** · 06-03-2006, 01:36 AM

I think I might actually say "Hey" every time.

**fire_of_avalon** · 06-03-2006, 02:28 AM

So, soon after I posted in this thread, someone with a restricted ID called me. Do any of you have my number? xD

**Mirage** · 06-03-2006, 02:46 AM

I usually say "Hi." and then go straight on to what I called for. I rarely introduce myself, cause they can see it's me before they pick up. Except when I don't call to another mbile phone, but that's rare.

If it's a friend of mine, I say "Moi!", "No moro!" or "Joo hei!" which mean something like "Hello!", "Well hiya there!" or "Yeah, hi!" If it's one of my family members, I say "Joo?" ("Yeah?") if I'm in a good mood, or I say "Noh?" ("Huh?"), where the tone gets more aggressive if I'm on a bad mood.

If it's an unknown number, I usually say "Haloo?" ("Hello?"), and if it's someone important like my employer in my summerjob, I answer with my whole name. If someone from my family or one of my friends calls me when I'm sleeping, I answer "Huomenta..." ("Good morning..."), and if it's my old physics teacher, I answer with "Tervehdys!" ("Greetings!")

I also remember when a few friends called me and they weren't finding the way to where I live, so I answered them "Joo, missä te nyt ootte?" ("Yeah, where are you now?") And I think I've also answered a phone call by saying "Oota hetki, mun akku loppuu kohta!" ("Hang on a sec, my battery's almost dead!") I'm sure I could come up with some more, but maybe that's the most frequent ones I use.

I usually use Shot 1 to get my range and then type, "y halo thar".

Moshi moshi. Kochira wa caapaa de gozaimasu ga, dochirasama de irasshaimasu ka?

**Rostum** · 06-03-2006, 07:21 AM

I keep mine on silence, and hardly answer it. Hehe.

But if I do it's usually "G'day?" or "Y'ello?"
