Native European French- can you help me translate these few sentences ?

Yes, I know I can use google translate, but I rather not since I know how misleading it could be.... Please translate the followings, me speaking (female) to a male and the conversation is on the phone :

1) A little bit, My French is like that of a small child, who are you calling for?

2) Who's speaking ?

3) He is not in his room right now, can I take a message ?

4) Stop, can you please repeat the numbers one digit at a time?

5) O.K, I'll pass him this message.

My French is even worse of that of a small child.. LOL, but I understand some of it..... My country's native language isn't English and it amaze me how many French business man call and just *assume* that an over sea office will know it !

    1) Un peu, je parle français aussi mal qu'un enfant de maternelle. À qui souhaitez-vous parler ?

    2) Qui est à l'appareil ? / Qui le demande ? (the second one is used only after someone answers "who are you calling for", the first one is generic)

    3) Il n'est pas dans son bureau en ce moment, souhaitez-vous laisser un message ?

    4) Un instant, pouvez-vous répéter un chiffre après l'autre, s'il vous plaît ?

    5) Très bien, je lui transmettrai.

    1) Un petit peu, mon français est du niveau d'un enfant, à qui téléphonez-vous?

    2) Qui est à l'appareil?

    3) Il n'est pas là pour le moment, puis-je prendre un message?

    4) Attendez, pouvez-vous s'il vous plaît répéter le numéro mais un chiffre à la fois?

    5) OK, je lui passerai le message.
