Its not universal but a significant portion of people from my hometown answer the phone with "Oh, hi there!"
I'm a big fan of answering the telephone by saying "telephone!" with enthusiasm and a bit of musicality kinda similar to how an old lady would say "you-hoo!"
But nobody calls me anymore, thank Beelzebub.
This has big "answer the phone with an 'ahoy!' like Alexander Graham Bell wanted to get going" energy.
Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong.
