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.

Hello is just short for "Do you copy ?"

So we all are starting all calls with ''do you copy''?
Abeg no make me laff biko.

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

Just start your next call with ''Mayday ! Mayday!''

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

"Hello" is the name of the wife of the inventor of the first phone.

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.

Lies!

I don't normally say "hello" ... I say Good morning, afternoon or evening..

I knew someone would bring up this lie here.

I personally use 'hey what's up?'

But if na mumsy or family related na 'hello ma or hello Sir'

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

I don't do hello all the time. I sometimes do the Rick Ross grunt and e dey make sense die

Hey!!

who hello epp
the first thing I say to my brother is "snake how far" and he will say "fish head how far" to me

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"

Hello good morning

Yo!

Hi

Whats up

Wahray

Modafucker....
Depending on who called.....

But I think I'd stopped saying hello...

And do not be surprised to hear a Nigerian answer back with,

WHERE MAY DEY, WHO SHE BE, WHY YOU DEY ASK ME ?
