Por favor, ¿Puedo llamar a .......? (May I talk to.....')
I am not sure if (Is Maria there') is used.

Anyway to relate a recent story with a native speaker. I answered the phone with "Diga". She told me this is not a polite response. A good response is "¿Puedo se le ofrece'" (Not sure this is excatly what she said).

She told me one time a co-worker answered the phone with "¿Què queire'". Which is rude. She would not let that person answer the phone the rest of the day.

Oh my gosh not llamar use "hablar"

tiene una llamada(you have a call, this is polite, you may use tienes)
con quien hablo'(may I know who's speaking')
call me (llamame)
voy a llamarte (I am gonna call you)
usted me prestaria su telefono para decirselo al gerente'(can I borrow your phone to call my manager')

There are so many,....it's no different than other conversation phrases.

Haha Si me di cuenta. Y para los que no sabían, el es un gran picaro también.

Peruvian examples...

A formal one for a person:
Buenos dias, se encontrará el señor "last name"? or Buenas tardes, con la señora "last name"?
Señor "last name", mi nombre es "full name", le llamo para...

A formal one for an institution:
Buenos dias, "institution name"? or Buenas tardes, es el "institution name"?
Señorita, podría comunicarme con el área de ventas por favor? Estoy interesado en comprar...

An informal one for a person:
Aló, está "first name"? or Aló, "first name"?

In Peru we use "Aló" a lot to start call dialogues.
