5jj Moderator Staff member Joined Oct 14, 2010 Member Type English Teacher Native Language British English Home Country Czech Republic Current Location Czech Republic Oct 15, 2010 #4 Yup. Another quirky American/UK thing. I (from England) am fairly sure that I used to say at. I know that, after seeing a lot of American films (I don't say movies - yet) and TV, and working with American colleagues, I now say on.

Barb_D Moderator Staff member Joined Mar 12, 2007 Member Type Other Native Language American English Home Country United States Current Location United States Oct 15, 2010 #10 Totally agree there -- call me on my cell phone, call me on my land line, but call me AT this number. (American point of view)
