This phrase is commonly used in phone conversations to indicate that the speaker is transferring the call to another person or department.

The following phrases "I still haven’t listened to my messages" and "She’s offline" indicate that the speaker has not yet listened to their messages and the person they want to talk to is currently not available. Therefore, the most appropriate completion for the sentence is "I’d like to talk to."
