So how do you answer the phone?

I use 'hello'. Funny thing I notice are
Chinese, Taiwanese, HK people usually say 'wei'
Japanese say 'moshi moshi'

Any other greetings you've heard guys?

I go crazy.

I only have a home phone, so I never know what I'm going to get. Keeps things interesting.

Hello?

Cello?

Yeeeeeellloooooow?

Yeeeeeuuuuuus?

*Cough*

City Morgue. You stab 'em, we slab 'em. How may I help you?

Whaddayawant?

Hoy Hoy!

Chips ahoy!

Ching din!

Mushi-mushi!

(insert name here) residence.

Please Hold. (This one's great fun if the person calling has never called before)

Telephone?

Or whatever else strikes my fancy, but those are the usuals.

Hai, moshi moshi.

OK, I actually just say "Hello."
