The Japanese say もしもし (moshimoshi) when answering the phone, just as we would say 'hello'. No one really knows for sure why they answer the phone with this phrase, however there is one tale that says that もしもし is said because foxes find it difficult to say. The Japanese believe that foxes are sneaky and untrustworthy and by saying もしもし, they are able to tell if they are being tricked.
