In FAA land: For class C: Establish radio contact - ATC responds with your callsign. Same for class D, but expect an instruction (join downwind, etc). QNH is normally given on ATIS, so the initial call in class D would be something like "<airport> Cessna 12345, 5 miles SW landing with <ATIS designator>". Only for class B must you hear "Cleared into class Bravo".
