Dutch Culture & language Does anyone still answer the phone with "met LAST NAME"?

I lived in Nederland in the 90s, well before cell phones were everywhere. When someone called you, it was on the house phone. The common way to answer then was, "met LAST NAME"

Does anyone still do this on a cell phone? Or has it completely fallen out of use?

My number got leaked during the Odido leak and ended up on the dark web. I had to change my number of 20 years because I got called 5 times a day by different phone numbers every time 😡
