Telephone Etiquette Overview
Telephone etiquette refers to a set of rules that apply when people make calls to others or when they are receiving a phone call. There are slightly different rules for a variety of situations. Making and receiving personal calls are not the same as making/receiving business calls. Within this set of rules, there can be differences, especially for business calls where companies may want callers or receivers to say certain things.
Personal Telephone Etiquette
For personal telephone etiquette, calling someone means doing several things. A caller should identify him/herself when not recognized right away. In calling a friend or relative, for instance, after the initial “Hello,” the caller should come up with a greeting and identification, such as “Hello/Hi, this is John.” Sometimes a last name is needed if the person being called is an acquaintance or a business representative.
