 Could you please tell me 

the difference between「on the phone」and「over the phone」

So, "on the phone" is an expression that we use to explain a state.For example, if I'm using the phone I can say,"I'm on the phone now.Just a moment,"meaning, right now, I'm using the phone."I'm on the phone.Just a moment.""He's on the phone right now.Can he call you back?""My parents are on the phone.Do you want to say hello?"

However, "over the phone" is used to talk about a way of transmitting information, of sending information.So, in "over the phone," it's like we are using the phone in order to pass information or to pass something along. "I'll give you the details over the phone later." "Can we make a reservation over the phone?" "He told me the news over the phone." 

I think that sometimes native speakers will use "on the phone" when they mean information sending, but, generally, this is the difference between the two.If you want to express this just that you're using the phone, just say, "I'm on the phone."That's probably the most common use.If you want to talk about sending information through a phone conversation, you can say,"I want to do this over the phone."
