Hi,

It's usually important to add 'please' to such phrases.

I think "one minute" is not common as "just a minute", I never have heard that Emotion: thinking... What you think?

I've actually heard "one minute" more often that "just a minute" Maybe that's a difference between American English and British English? "One minute" is definitely more informal than the other, I'd say.
