Hi all,
I was wondering why when on a phone call People say, moshi moshi name desukedo.why desukedo ?
 
けど, けれども or が is used as a preface to the main cluase followoing it, (e.g., もしもし、〇〇と申しますけど、~さんいらっしゃいますか?) , as same as 失礼です、お名前を伺ってもよろしいでしょうか or 申し訳ありません、窓を開けていただけないでしょうか. They are not adversative conjunction in these cases.

Wow! Thanks toritoribesan that is some extremly polite Japanese. I espeacially like 開けていただけないでしょうか. It must be very handy in many situations.
