Best Answer

You are correct. The caller should always end the call. Of course, that makes for some long conversations if you are polite.

Another perspective: In the 21st century, as long as you don't just hang up on someone in mid-sentence, it is not considered at all rude for the called party to end the call.

Caller ID allows the receive of telephone calls to determine who is telephoning them before they answer the call .This in turn allows the user to decide whether or not they wish to answer the call. There are no notable differences between caller ID and BT caller ID other than the BT service is included in the BT Privacy at Home package.

What is the meaning of telephone etiquette?

Telephone Etiquette just means etiquette on the telephone. Which means you do not slam the phone on people, do not play pranks, do not drop the phone suddenly, do not keep the caller waiting for too long, DO introduce yourself (unless you are very familiar with the person. E.g: Best friends since young. * Do take note some phones do not have caller ID, so it is best to introduce yourself.), hang up because you are embarrassed as you dialed the wrong number, call random people (which is also prank calling- A major no-no.). Answer the phone with a 'Hello?', not a 'yo' or 'Yellow' or 'Yep' (If you know it is your friend then it is fine, i guess), always put the phone down gently if you need to get a person for the caller, don't just yell for the person (e.g: DAD!). Do keep a pen and paper next to the phone, so the caller will not get frustrated while waiting for you to get a pen; choose a good time to call, don't call before 10 am and after 8pm (unless it's VERY VERY X10 Urgent); also, ask politely for the person you're calling (e.g: May i please speak to so and so. Not: Oi! I wanna talk to so and so!). Hope this answers what telephone etiquette is. :) If you have any questions just drop a notice on my message board


Getting calls at home.My caller ID has Information listed with no phone number display. I answer a recording of GoodBye and hang up.Going back caller ID no record of a call. Can Skyper these kind call?

If your caller ID displays some information about an incoming call, but then shows no evidence of a call when you scroll back later, then your caller ID display is malfunctioning. The rest of your problem sounds like some automated telephone equipment has your number incorrectly programmed in; when the caller doesn't reach the automated equipment it expects to find at your end, it says "Good bye" and hangs up.
