Common mistakes...

...Do not say: I saw your missed call
...Say: I missed your call
...Do not say: Your voice is cracking
...Say: The line is breaking
...Do not say: Flash me
...Say: Give me a drop-call, beep me or give me a beep
...Do not say: I am hearing you
...Say: I can hear you
...Do not say: Come again
...Say: I can't hear you


Etymologically, the word telephone comes from Latin and Greek. Tele in Latin means 'distance' and phone in Greek means 'sound' so the compound word becomes 'distance sound' TELEPHONE.

Someone has just learned something now congratulations to you.
