Instead of tapping her shoulder, you can say "WAI". But then not only she, EVERYONE will turn to look at you. So it's better to say "Miss so-and-so". But among friends, it's common and casual to just turn to him/her and say "wai", to get their attention. Smart ass people will say, "my name is not WAY". So "Wai" is indeed like Hello. Wai in Cantonese, way in Mandarin. They say “Wai” not only on the phone, it is useful when someone is not facing you. Instead of tapping her shoulder, you can say “WAI”.
