How would you manage that via telephone?

Sending Hello this way seems like calling somebody and if they answer it's ok to interrupt.

Being responsive doesn't mean you're idle.



The phone is the last but one "urgency" level. It means that if someone calls me on the phone it is really urgent. I would interrupt a lot of things, including a presentation, if I get a call.

If this is to say something minor I will block that person, or never pick up their call again.
