Cell Phone Etiquette By Demorris McCaskill
Caller ID
OUse Caller ID to determine whether to answer a call. If it is urgent or you do not risk offending anyone with your conversation take, the call . If your with a group of people, excuse yourself before taking the call and step away.
Voice Mail
Use voicemail to leave a brief
message if the recipient does
not answer
Shout
Do not talk loudly or shout into the cell-
phone. If the connection is poor,
yelling will not improve the signal
strength
Straight and to the point
OKeep calls brief whey you are with other people. Doing otherwise implies that the caller is more important than those you are with in person.
Ring tones
Select a non-offensive ringtone.
Anything else makes a juvenile
Silent please
OIf you are not uncertain about weather to mute or turn off your phone. Be courteous by turning it off, vibrate or silent
Profanity
Avoid using profanity in
public, no matter what vocal
volume you use
When not to text
OWhen involved in a formal situation avoid texting it shows that you are not interested in the conversation and would rather be else where. Which is very offensive to you surrounding company.
Proximity rule
When possible, put a distance of
10 feet or two arms length from
other people when using a
cellphone
