意思
The act of taking an incoming telephone call.
文化背景
It is common to see people bowing while talking on the phone if the caller is a superior. This physical habit persists even without visual contact. Talking loudly on the phone in subways or buses is considered very rude. Most people switch to 'manner mode' and answer with a whisper or send a text instead. When answering a business call, you should state your department and name immediately after 'Yeoboseyo' or instead of it. With the rise of KakaoTalk, many young Koreans prefer texting over 'receiving a call', leading to a phenomenon called 'phone phobia'.
Drop the '를'
In 90% of spoken Korean, people just say '전화 받아' or '전화 받았어'. It sounds much more natural.
Honorifics Matter
If you are talking about your boss or a teacher answering the phone, always use '받으시다'.

The 'Yeoboseyo' Rule
Only say 'Yeoboseyo' when you are the one receiving the call or when the line is breaking up. Don't use it to start a call you made unless you're checking if they can hear you.
Manner Mode
In Korea, 'silent mode' is called 'manner mode' ({매너모드}). It's expected in all public indoor spaces.
