Hello everyone. I having been Buenos Aires for about 4 months now, but discovered today that I still might be abreast of proper phone etiquette. I have some questions, but also hope that this thread might be used by others with questions about speaking on the phone.
My question is, if you do not know who someone is that called you, what should you say? I had an unrecognized number call me, and we went through the whole "hola/hola; como va/bien" introduction. He asked me a question, and I responded "disculpame, pero quien es esto?". He did not understand me, and eventually hung up. I'm pretty sure he had the wrong number, but still, I would like to know what I should have asked in that situation as he seemed really confused.
Any help would be appreciated. As well, feel free to post your own questions here regarding phone usage.
