My house phone is usually answered by DD anyway. My mobile I answer with my name if its office related, DD answers it if its family (and only if shes 100% sure, their name has to show on the screen), anyone else gets a 'Hello'

[nannysue]

A cheery "HELLO" :D

[berkschick]

I have caller ID so I see if I know the number or not!

If I do, depending on who it is, they either get a nice happy hello or a what do you want now hello lol

If it is a number I dont know I put on my best hello voice!

[Andrea08]

thanks ladies think ill stay with the happy Hello:D be myself and not a posh teacher voice lol xxx

I always answer in a cheery hello, and this has always worked well.

I do have an answerphone, which basically says 'Hi you have reached xxxx, sorry we cant get to the phone right now, please leave a name and number and we will get back to you or you can call me on my mobile xxxxxx'

If I can beat my ds (4) even tho he has been told not to answer it, i usually go with a smile and a "hello".

[Mollymop]

I just say "hello?"

My hubby has been known to answer the phoning by identifying us as the CITY MORGUE!!!!! Needless to say he is generally banned from answering:) On a more practical note - I always just say a cheery hello.

I'm the same, a big cheery 'Hello'

Oh no, I thought my DH was the only one who did that.

Must remind him to be on his best behaviour FOREVER :eek:

I will be checking caller ID and if I dont recognise the number it will be a big cheery "Hello" :laughing:

[sarah707]

I have caller ID as well... friends get 'hello' in a jolly voice...

Numbers I don't recognise get 'hello' in a quieter voice...

Unlisted numbers get 'hello' in a suspicious voice followed usually by 'if you think I am buying that crap you can think again' or something similar :D

My hubby had a phase of answering the phone as "McEwans Madhouse" until one day it was the Care commission and hes never done it again.

I just answer with a cheery HELLO

[avril]

I have caller display so know who it is and decide if I answer the phone or not :eek: Only joking unless it's the in-laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laughing:

Honestly I answer the phone with a big happy hello especially with held numbers as you are never sure who is on the other end of the phone!

Sarah - you almost made me wake my daughter laughing at your reply:laughing: :laughing:

My hubby does this, usually "Petes love emporium" if he knows who it is...or "Wang ton chinese, can I take your order"..that sort of thing.

We do have caller I D though.:D
