Yes, in almost all circumstances. Even if you are alone at home, you are still chewing into the ear of the person on the other end.

It is very rude to talk on your cell phone during dinner or when you are with a companion in any circumstance. I think there are social situations where you are anticipating a call and have to briefly engage in a conversation, but two real social missteps are (1) talking on a cell phone while you are with someone else, and (2) while having dinner. Even if you are alone in a public restaurant, talking on a cell phone during dinner is rude unless you can do it ever-so-quietly. By the way, why is it rude to be in a cell phone conversation with someone else in your company? They feel like "sloppy seconds." That's just not nice.

Yes, it would be rude to speak on a mobile during dinner. It is always best to excuse yourself to receive or make calls, just out of common courtesy, as mobiles can be rude and irritating at the best of times.

Yes I think it's rude. Going out to dinner is a nice thing. You engage is nice conversation with the other person opposite from you. I think if you feel the need to, step away and speak on the phone. But not at the table!

Yes. You should turn the mobile off if you are in a public place and leave the table and go outside if you need to make a call.

WITHOUT A DOUBT YES
turn your phone off during dinner, unless you are expecting an important call. In which case, let the others know before you sit down - so as to alleviate the bad manners a little in advance.

YES! Talk to the people you are with. Only if it is an emergency would you ever talk on the phone during dinner.

Talkin on the cell while eating at a restaurant is okay unless you want to wear my dinner. Very Rude & remember - there are ears all around you who love to listen.
