Asking for contact information
Contexte culturel
Exchanging phone numbers is often the first step in building a 'network' of people who can help with daily tasks (finding a plumber, getting a job). In tech-heavy cities, people might prefer to give their LinkedIn or Instagram handle first if they are wary of privacy, but 'phone number' remains the standard for business. In villages, the 'phone number' is often shared freely as a sign of hospitality and openness. It is common for a whole family to share one mobile number. The 'Missed Call' culture is a unique Indian phenomenon where giving a missed call is a way to share a number without incurring costs.
