Yes, saying "This is she" is technically correct for formal situations, as it follows traditional grammar rules. However, many people use "This is her" in casual conversation, which is also widely accepted.

"Yes, this is he" is correct grammar. It is the preferred way to answer the phone when someone is asking for you by name. Using "he" instead of "him" is grammatically correct in this context.


Nice speaking with you or nice speaking to you?

Honestly, both are polite and correct. I would use "nice speaking with you" over the phone and "nice speaking to you" in person. Because over the phone your speaking with something. In person your talking directly to someone.


What should you say when answering the phone?

When answering your own phone a simple "Hello" will do. You may be more formal and say: "Smith residence, this is Terry" If you are picking up the phone after someone has called you to it: "This is Terry (your first name)." When answering a residential phone belonging to friends or family "You have reached the Smith residence, how may I help you?" use the last/family name of the household. When answering a business phone check with your employer for the wording they prefer, but something like "Thank you for calling XYZ company, how may I direct your call?" will work. If you are answering your own phone (extension) at work: "Good day, this is Terry Smith (use your correct name), how may I help you?" is fine, unless the company has a preferred method of answering. Check with your employer. In some cases, where you are working in a specific department and the phone is not your sole responsibility, you could use: "Shipping & Receiving, this is Terry, how may I help you?" * NOTE* When identifying yourself on the phone try not to say "This is Terry speaking" it makes it sound as if your last name is Speaking.


How do I program my phone to be answered by a call answering service?

You actually program a computer, rather than a phone. What happens is that the computer sends the call to a predefined number based on the extension dialed in the virtual answering service. Then, when someone dials in to the virtual answering service, your phone rings, wherever that phone might be.
