REAL ENGLISH 

hold on!
Just about everyone knows that the expressions hello and good bye are used to begin and end phone conversation in the united states, here are some other expressions that are commonly used on the phone,

if you need to leave the phone momentarily but don't want to end the conversation, you can say, don't go away, hang on, stay on the line, hold on a minute, or hold the line, in business setting, where there a hold button on the phone, you can say let me put you on hold please, this is often followed with I'll be right with you,

if a receptionist is very busy, instead of answering the phone and waiting for a response, he or she may say right away please hold or we'll be right with you, and then you'll be put on,
