Talking to an operator
This is customer service, how can I help you?
Hello, I would like to cancel telephone service in my old apartment.
All right, will you be installing new service somewhere else?
Yes, I am moving this weekend to another neighborhood.
Do you want your new number to appear in the directory?
No, I want an unlisted number.
And do you want call waiting and call forwarding?
Yes please, I would like the complete package.

Mobile phone
Excuse me for a moment; I need to make a call on my cell.
Do you have a signal here? My phone doesn't work in this area.
Sometimes I have a dropped call, but my service provider is pretty good.
Are you happy with your service contract, or you are going to change it?
Well, my cell phone is old. I need to recharge the battery very often. And the quality of sound is far from perfect.
Same thing with me. I always make important phone calls on my landline when I get home.

Personal conversation
Hi, Ted. I need to ask you something. Can you talk right now?
Hi, Billy. I'm sorry; I'm on the other line right now. Can I call you back in ten minutes?
You know, I'd rather wait if you don't mind. I have just one quick question.
Then hold the line, I'll be with you shortly. Okay, I'm here, sorry to keep you waiting.
I can't get in touch with Jessica. Did she go somewhere?
I don't think so. She was out of town for a while but yesterday I saw her at the bank.
I'm afraid she is just screening her calls now.
Leave a message on her answering machine; you have no other choice.

Business conversation
Hello, may I speak to Mr. Jones. This is Ted Carter returning his call.
Please hold while I see if he is in his office. I'm sorry, he's stepped out. May I put you through to his voice mail?
Oh, that's unfortunate. Maybe I'll call back later. Can you tell me his direct number?
If you call the main number again, the receptionist will be happy to transfer you to the correct extension.
Okay. Maybe I should leave a message after all. Do you know when he will be back?
I have no idea. You can try at the end of the business day.
Till what time will he be in the office?
Usually he is here till five but today he may be staying late.
