Correct usage of “This Side” in a phone conversation
0
I have heard people using
"This side James, here"
"This side James"
for example, when someone starts talking on a phone call.
I wanted to check if any of the above is a correct usage of English?

You should add all the context to the question. It is very hard to guess that that sentence was being used to answer a phone call.

I will take that as feedback but would you mind answering the question since you have all the context now?

I cannot answer the question. I have never used or seen that way of answering the phone. By this I don't mean that it is not used, only that I haven't seen it. It is clear to me that there are many ways to answer a phone, and that many are just incomplete shortenings of properly formed sentences. I answer the phone saying Yes! or Hey! if the caller ID shows me someone that I know.
