　　在中国，虽然电话已经十分普及了，但由于缺乏用电话的常识和训练，不能形成有效交流的案例比比皆是。由于双方看不到彼此的身体语言，对于使用英语的外国人来说，进行电话交流有一定的难度。所以要最大程度地使用或理解一些暗示语，即通过声音线索去抓住对方的 支持、赞同或反对的态度、感情很重要。
　　一般的电话礼仪还有如下一些注意事项：
　　商务或公务电话都不宜太长；
　　电话交谈时声音不要太大。一是不必要，二是会遭人白眼；
　　如果接到一个别人的电话，一般要主动提出可以帮助传递口信儿。大多数人会写下一张留言条；
　　接听电话时，需知道对方是谁，并询问对方

(1)基本训练。电话号码是由0~9这十个数字组成的，因此考生一定要对这十个数字的念法非常熟悉。许多听力教材提供了数字的训练音带，大家找一本合适自己的进行练习即可。当训练到一定程度后，建议进行“自言自语”式的训练，即自己快速地、无意识地说一些数字，边说边记，以此来训练对数字的敏感能力，这是最关键的一步。
(2)“0”在英语中有许多表示方法，如zero，nought, null, nil, nothing等，应该注意的是：英国英语与美国英语在念法上有所不同，在TOEFL考试中，“0”常念作“zero”，但在考试中“0”常念作“nought”(V35的section 4)；而在电话号码中“0”读作字母”Oh”,就像在单词“go”中的发音。

情况 (一) 打电话的人找的是你自己
打电话来的人
你 (接电话的人)
Is Daisy there? (Daisy 在吗?) Speaking. 我就是。
This is she. 我就是。 (注: 男的用 "This is he.")
You're speaking/talking to her. 你正在跟她说话。 (注: 男的用 "You're speaking/talking to him.")
This is Daisy. 我就是 Daisy。
That's me. 我就是。

中国家庭并不常用电话答录机（Answering Machine),但在北美家庭，几乎家家都用。外来电话拨入时，若该电话号码的主人不在，就会让拨入者听到一段留言，这叫Answer。绝大多数的Answer都是千篇一律的：说明主人不在，请拨入者留下简短信息及姓名电话号码等。
