Is the term On phone or over phone?

While you might hear people say "over the phone," it's not grammatically correct. The phrase "on the phone" is more commonly used and accepted.

Here's why:

* "On" implies a state of being. It suggests you are actively using the phone.

* "Over" implies a means of communication. It suggests you are using the phone to communicate with someone.

Here are some examples:

* "I'm on the phone right now."

* "Can we discuss this on the phone?"

* "I talked to her on the phone yesterday."

Hope this helps!
