Must We Say ''hello'' At The Beginning Of Every Call? by OlieEvan(m): 12:22pm On Jan 30, 2019 |
Good day y'all I noticed I made a call today, and due to the bad weather condition, networks has been a bit 'Under the weather'. I said the normal ''hello'', and recipient said ''hello'' too. Then I began my conversation thinking she could hear me, loh and behold, she was not. I was hearing 'hello' and 'hello', I too was also replying 'hello' 'hello' till the call got finally disrupted. I went into deep thought and realized that I and my reciever had been shouting ''Hellos''. Isn't that someones name? Is there any other word to replace it? If there is please, drop your mind. |

I personally don't say that word more than twice in succession during a phone call I initiated my first usage of the word is to confirm my call has gone through my second usage is to confirm the recipient is with me if the person isn't I ask CAN YOU HEAR ME? if the response is yes then there's a communication if not I end it and dial again Also if I'm the recipient I say it twice if you stay quiet or the call is breaking up I then ask CAN YOU HEAR ME? If its same I end it. I don't continue calling on HELL o... like it's a nice place ![]() 3 Likes |

The use of hello as a phone greeting has been credited to Thomas Edison, but there are no hard and fast rules to this. BlueRayDick's idea is an option ![]() You don't have to lose sleep over this, you could use conventional greetings: Hi, Good day etc 1 Like |

Big boys and ladies don't say hello. We say whatever we like aside 'hello' when the call is connected ![]() |

My side, we say 'how far'... If the call is from an unknown number 'opeyemi speaking', nothing more. |

OlieEvan:Its called phone ethics. In the physical, you have to greet or say hi before starting a conversation. Same applies to phone . Hello: used as a greeting or to begin a telephone conversation 1 Like |

After reading through all these posts, I have made my decision to never say 'Hello' A friend called this morning and all I could say was the name of that person. i.e, "Emediong, Goodmorning, How far" |
