I tried to get off the phone with him
Another client called me at 9:45. I tried to get off the phone with him at 10, but he had a lot of questions for me. I didn't want him to get upset with me.
Another client called mo at 9:45. I tried to hang up the phone on him at 10, but he asked me a lot of questions. I didn't want him to get angry/disappointed with me.
I try to understand the first version by rendering it as the second. Correct me if I amd wrong. Thanks.

Yes, that's fine. Oh, PS: 'get off the phone' means to (I hope) politely finish the call, but 'hang up on' is a rude conclusion to the conversation.
