1 and 2 mean the same thing.
(The phone is ringing and someone is asking Tom to answer it.)
3 and 4 don't make much sense.
5 makes sense, but has a different meaning.
(Someone is talking on the phone and then asks Tom to take the phone from him -- maybe to continue talking, maybe just to hold it while the person gets something. It could be for several reasons.)
1. Tom, answer the phone.
2. Tom, get the phone.
3. Tom, receive the phone.
4. Tom, have the phone.
5. Tom, take the phone.
