How to pick up a phone
phone you can pick it up from the top as seen in the first example (or by dangling the cord and talking backwards), or in the case of cellphones, as in example 2, by the antenna. After picking up the phone, you must hold the phone at the top, with a MAXIMUM of 3 fingers. 2 is the recommended choice, and the most sensible way. Before putting the phone to your ear, hold it a good distance away from you first, and then pick it up. There was only ONE TIME L picked up the phone normally. So it’s VERY rare!
