"你係邊個"? = Who,s calling? or ... Who is it?

"我係邊個"? = It,s calling from (YOUR NAME). or .... It,s (YOUR NAME). or ..... This is (YOUR NAME). or .... Here is (YOUR NAME).

I would like to correct some of the answers.

'who's calling?' is not correct.
it should be : WHOSE CALLING?

Hi,

因為呢有d係特別的,我記得"我係邊個" = "There is Peter"

I am afraid that your memory didn't serve you right this time.

我係邊個= This is ( name here).

You may even say something like" This is XXX speaking."

"你係邊個"?<--------------

If you have to ask who is calling you, you may say" May I know who is
calling?".

Example:

Receptionist: He's just stepped out. May I know who is calling?

A: This is Mr Cheung.

Before I jet, let me leave you some sentences that might be useful for you.

but he is not in the office. In this case, you may take a message for your boss.)

tata
sounds girlish :)

你係邊個? : May I have your name please?
我係邊個 = "This is Peter"
e.g. When you dial to other, you may say "This is Peter. May I speak to Mary?"

When you are answering the call, you may say "Peter's speaking". It is usually used in office.
