Dealing with Problems on the Phone

Problems in communication
You're breaking up... I haven't got a very good signal.
Sorry, it's a really bad line.
I'm afraid I didn't catch that.
Can you speak up a bit?
Hold on while I go somewhere quieter.
I'll hang up and try again later.

Not a good time to call
Sorry, but I have someone other on the line. Can I call back?
I'm afraid I really don't have a lot of time today. Can you call again tomorrow?
I'm just on my way out. Can you call again later?
Sorry, this will have to be quick. I'm about to go into a meeting.

International Alphabet

It is a combination of letters that can be easily pronounced and understood by anyone regardless of their native language. It was developed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. It was later adopted by many national and international organisations (e.g. NATO), as well as many businesses all over the globe. The purpose of using the international alphabet is to avoid confusion while spelling (e.g. on the phone).
