When you answer the telephone or call someone, remember these tips. Never call before 7 a.m. on weekdays, before 9:30 a.m. on weekends, or after 9 p.m. any day of the week to make sure that you don't wake someone up. Don't call during dinner time. When you call a friend and someone in their family answers the phone, introduce yourself and say: "Hi, this is [insert your name here]. May I please speak to [insert your friend's name]?" Always remember to say thank you!
