Input (English): [header] How to answer the phone politely [title] Pick up after 2 or 3 rings. [step] When you're answering calls at work, let the phone ring 2 or 3 times before your answer it. If you let it ring more than 3 times, the caller may become impatient and feel that their call is being ignored. <sep> (A) [substeps] On the other hand, if you pick up after the first ring, the caller may be taken aback by the quick answer. They may not have had enough time to compose their thoughts. (B) [substeps] The caller may think of using telephone pickup. However, this is not an optimal method, so you may need to hang up instead of answer. (C) [substeps] For the same reason, you should not answer after 2 or 3 rings; they will immediately pick up. Calling from home, so long as you come home from work to answer the phone or leave it at home with the ringer off, can disrupt your nightly sleep routine. (D) [substeps] Other people can hang up after 2-3 rings. If you end up answering the phone on the other person's end, give it a try and see what happens.
