OFF WHAT HOOK? (opens in new window/tab)
Still, I think the new phone handset technology calls for new, more appropriate slang to convey the message.
“Blowing up” is the new phrase, if you care As in, “Jenn, you’re phone’s blowing up” or “Dude’s blowing up my phone.”
The latter example is as spoken to me by my lesbian bartender friend regarding Jose Canseco.
But anyway, yeah. Blowing up. That’s the new “ringing off the hook.”
