There are many types of voicemail today to choose from, including mobile, satellite, and landline. However, no matter what service you use, learning how to leave and understand phone messages is important. What questions or requests might you hear in a telephone message (e.g., “Please call me tomorrow.”)
“call someone up” = telephone someone
“Hey, call me up if you want to get together.”
“call on someone” = drop by and visit
“I’ll call on you tomorrow around noon.”
A. Listen to the phone message and answer the questions.
Hey Bill. This is Hank. I'm just calling to let you know that I'll be a little late to the game tomorrow night.
I have to work a few extra hours to finish a report.
Oh, then I'm planning on dropping by Lisa's house for about an hour since she's been sick recently.
I'll swing by my house to pick up some food for the game.
I should wrap things up sometime between seven and eight though.
