Mr. TomHi

I asked this question somewhere else but did not receive the answer.

Could you please tell me which ones of the following are correct and natural?

"You can do the booking on (the) telephone." Or, "you can book it by phone"

"You can do the booking by telephone." ok

"You can do the booking via telephone." Iwouldn't use "via" simply it's not a popular term here but it's not wrong.

"You can do the booking on the telephone."ok

"You can do the booking over (the) telephone." .

Thanks

Hi Tom,

In north America, all of the above sound pretty natural to my ears except "via". Notice "on the telephone" and "over the phone", you need the article "the" before "telephone. But you don't need it when you say "by phone" or "on-line"
