May I please request you to list some Cell phone Etiquettes???

Answer 1

Talk At A Normal Tone
Many cellphone users think that it is some how better to shout into a cellphone. Apparently they perceive higher voice levels with a better cellphone signal strength. Rather than shouting, when you can't hear the other person, why not go outside or in a area with a better signal strength?
Choose The Vibrate Mode Over Ringer
I can not see any situation, apart from broadcasting your latest downloaded ringtone, that would compel you to choose the ringer over the vibration mode. The vibration mode does the same thing that the ringer was originally intended for, it alerts you when you have an incoming call, however unlike the ringer this mode is less annoying.
Remove The Earpiece
Another annoyance is the number of cellphone users who insist on talking with you while having their ear piece on. You are consistently being placed on hold in mid conservation only to hear the ramblings of another semi-private conversation. If you have to take the call, at the very least notify the other party, that way there is no awkwardness. There is nothing worse than trying not to make eye contact with someone across from you who is not talking to you.
Avoid Talking With Someone When On The Cell
Avoid talking on the cellphone when you know you are going to be talking with someone, such as at a restaurant. Nodding and hand signalling to the waiter while on the phone is extremely rude, it suggests that you are too busy to even be bothered with acknowledging their the presence. In doing so you open yourself to retaliation...food poisoning?
Text Message More
If you have to communicate with another person while at a public area, than try to use one of the many instant messaging clients available on today's cellphones. Not only is text messaging less rude, it saves all off us from hearing your conversation, it is also very efficient. You are more inclined to get straight to the point via text messaging than talking.
Use Voice Mail Feature More
There is nothing wrong in turning off a cell phone or missing a call. If a call is really important then the caller is more inclined to leave back a voice message. Many sensible people understand that not all people can be reached 24/7, after all you are not a receptionist or customer service rep.

Answer 2

Once again we return to the adage that common sense is not all that common. I'm starting to think that our society has grown so shallow that spending ten minutes alone with one's own thoughts is tantamount to torture. They seem to feel the need to be connected to someone 24/7, and start lining up the next one when one appears to be winding down. I'm a gadget freak, but I only recently joined the whole cell phone thing. I got it because it's simply safer and a land line cost way more than I would ever use it. Sometimes I go a week or so without even touching my home phone. I got a prepaid plan, and once I averaged out my spending, a discounted plan for government employees, of which I am one, was a good deal. I DO NOT use it while driving because my old rules are still in place: a ringing phone does not have to be answered, and the phone exists for my convenience. My biggest complaints sometimes aren't so much that people use their phones to extreme, but that everything else going on at the same time suffers because of it. They drive badly, both swerving out of their lane and going significantly slower than traffic because "it's safer." They park badly, and they can't be bothered to correct the bad parking because that would require both hands and an extra 30 seconds to back up and pull in straight. They even walk badly. Have you ever walked behind someone while they talk? They swerve as badly as they do on the road. You have to watch and run like entering a game of double-dutch. I was rear-ended TWICE by someone talking on a cell phone, because even when they're going slowly, they're distracted and they keep on going... I understand having one for work, and my boss likes to text when he's out of town. Many companies ban employees from talking while driving, but they do it anyway. Note to the wise, if you have a "How am I driving?" sticker on your vehicle and you're on the phone, I calling it in. But I'm waiting until I'm parked. So, I can rant with you, but in our self-centered culture it won't do a lick of good, I'm disappointed to say. People think everything is a matter of rights. But these alleged "rights" in the face of courtesy are excuses for bad behavior. And no one has rights when they impose on another person's rights. You don't have a right to drive like a drunkard, disrupt a film (yes, even the light from the display while you're texting can be seen and is disruptive), slow down the checkout line, smoke in a closed public space, or fart in elevators! It's all the same.

Answer 3

I think the first and formost thing is not to shout in front of others over the mobile phone. In case there is any problem in hearing at the other end, better disconnect and call again. When you are in a group and you get a call, excuse them and go away from them to attend the call and come back as early as possible. I f you know the caller, attend the call and politely tell him/her that you would call back later. Your ringing tone must be at the lowest
or put the phone in silent mode. Do not talk private things loudly in front of others.

Answer 4

hey,
if you are the one calling say hello, DO NOT ask who's speaking present yourself formally to every number not stored on your cellphone. If it is an intercom be as polite as possible use pls thank you and sorry or excuse me as needed. If it is a pick up phone make sure the person talking is actually the person that it's meant to be by asking some indirect but polite questions before proceeding to talk to the person the way you might have before because there is no way screen for you to find out the number NEVER BANG on anyone.

Answer 5

1. Turn off (or at least silent) in meetings, church, hospitals.
2. DON'T YELL. Speak in normal tones.
3. Don't try to conduct business with a cashier or other third party while speaking on your phone.
4. If you break rule 3, don't complain if you think you got short-changed. You should be paying attention when conducting business.
5. Don't impede traffic if you are speaking on your phone.
6. Don't expect the world to stop so you can talk on your phone.

Answer 6

If you're inside a building other than your own home, such as a restaurant or classroom, when you get a call, leave the room to take it. It's highly impolite to sit at a table with friends and be talking to someone over the phone; excuse yourself to go outside or just don't pick it up.

Answer 7

Yes, with pleasure!
- At all times be discrete - no-one wants to hear where you are or what you had for breakfast when you talk on your phone!
- Turn your phone off when you are in meetings and at hospitals
- Turn phone to silent when you are eating in restaurants and at theatres etc.
- Don't keep checking your phone when you are talking to someone else!
-Talk quietly, there is no need to shout!
-Don't have a really annoying ringtone!

Hope that helps!
