Cell Phone Etiquette

Cell-phone etiquette apply to most public places. Always try to keep your phone ringer as low as possible or put your mobile phone on vibrate, so it does not distract the people around you.



Basic Cell phone etiquette rules include:

Switching it Off: Know when to turn it off or vibrate it.
e.g. meetings, movies, worship, seminars, etc.

Be Brief: When you get a call and you're with friends, keep the call short.

Permission: Often, it is correct etiquette to inform others at the beginning of the meeting that you are expecting an important call and get their permission.

Be Polite, don't scream: speak in a lower-than-normal voice, you will be heard by the caller, and not others in the room.

Don't Distract: Avoid talking where you may be distracting to others.

Driving: It is not only very dangerous, but also unlawful in most countries to drive and talk on your cell Phone.

A good time to leave your phone at home, or at least in the car would be at a funeral or some event along those lines.
