I Can't Come/Get To The Phone Right Now
On my voice mail, I normally record:
En este momento, no puedo ponerme al telefono But if I want to use the verb “atender,” which way, if any, is normal and correct? En este momento, no puedo atender el telefono En este momento, no puedo atender al telefono En este momento, no puedo atenderle al telefono Thanks in advance for any help. |

Some extra possibilities:
- No puedo contestar/responder/atender la llamada/el teléfono. Side note: "Ponerse al teléfono" may be understood in context, but it's never used in Mexico. Quote:
