Method 1 of 3: Straightforward Method

1. 1 Explain that this is not the time to talk. You are busy with a project; you need to turn it in before a certain date and you are trying to complete a specific task. Ask the other person if they can call you back and choose the right time.

Method 2 of 3: Theatrical method

1. 1 Ring the doorbell and tell them that someone has come and you need to go. If you don't have a call, knock on the door.
2. 2 Hang up the phone. If you have a cordless or mobile phone, tell the other person that he is dead.
   • If the person calls you back, tell you that you need to charge your phone and you cannot speak
3. 3 Ask your friend, neighbor, brother, or friend to order you to hang up.
4. 4 Pretend you can't hear the caller well and hang up.
5. 5 Tell them that you need to eat, shower, or go to the toilet.

Method 3 of 3: Evasion Method

1. 1 Forward the call to voicemail and call the subscriber back at a convenient time.
2. 2 Turn on voicemail, and then send an SMS with an apology to the subscriber. Choose a time to call back. You can say that you will talk to them "along the way" or during breaks to ensure that the conversation is short.
   • Tell the caller you received the message too late for a call back. This method works too.
3. 3 Pay attention to the identification of the incoming caller. If the subscriber's name is not displayed along with the number, most likely you will not want to receive the call. If the subscriber knows that you will not pick up the phone, he may try to privatize or block the number.

Tips

• If you say you will call back after eating or going to the bathroom, keep your promise. If you forgot about it, apologize. Just say, "Look, I need to eat / go to the bathroom / shower. I have to go. Bye."
• If you get dropped a lot, you can tease the caller a little. Tell him you need to talk and you will call back later. Find out the right time to call and keep the conversation to a minimum.
• Most people respect your right to see the "last few minutes of a movie". Use this trick depending on your relationship with the other person.

Warnings

• If you misuse these tips and your friend realizes that you are looking for an excuse to hang up, he may be offended. Be careful.
