When the phone rings & you pick up & the caller asks, Is this (Name). What do you say in response? Do you say: Yes, it is. This is she. This is her. This is (Name). I am (Name). I’ve actually used all those lol One I haven’t used is: Speaking.

I usually answer in a business formal voice: "Hello this is __(my first name)__, how may I help you today?". I usually throws off telemarketers, because they assume they've called a business by acceident. Just wait until I get incorporated and running my own small business. MUHAHAHAaa! I'll rule the wor-- well, I mean I'll confuse people. LOL

Yes, it is. This is she. This is (name). And, I have said 'Speaking'. I've also added 'Who is this?' after my response

I keep it simple by saying, this is "name" or if it is someone I really know I might say, hi their name.

I like to answer with 'FBI headquarters, how may I help you?' Telemarketers hang up and don't call back and my friends get a laugh.

"This is she." Is how I respond. If they don't really tell me who they are at first, I'll ask "May I ask who's calling and what it's in reference to?"

I'd be interested to know if you've ever thought of a funny acronym for FBI? Not sure what you mean. Like 'Female Body Inspecter'? (Sorry, old one and not PC these days.)

If someone asks if this is 'insert name' I say yes it is.

Lol I still say that, I just ignore the people who would get upset over it. Anyways to answer the question I just say "yes this is him speaking". I typically won't answer the phone if I don't know who it is though.

I recently saw a girl on TikTok who would answer all those telemarketer callers with funny lines like "Linda's Meat Mortuary, you kill 'em, we serve 'em, who do you need help with today?"
