1. I voted "me", but...
the phrase should be "please call either me or John."

2. I was always taught to take out the either John or and say it out loud,
You would not say please call I, or please call myself. The answer has to be me.

5. Me too, with a slight variation
I always rephrase it as a question, like "Who should I call? Me. Call me or John."

4. John?
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 01:59 PM by Call Me Wesley
He doesn't know anything, and besides, he's pretty rude with customers. And since you have to ask about this, I think you won't be really helpful either. :P So the correct answer to your question is:

"If you have any question, please call Glenda on 546-781-903 during work hours. Thank you and have a nice day."

6. It, without a doubt, should be me.
Me knows this for a fact.
