Essential Cell Phone Etiquette You Should Know
Owning a cell phone is both enjoyable and convenient. It's especially reassuring to have when driving alone at night. With millions of people now owning cell phones, understanding proper etiquette is increasingly important.
Having a cell phone doesn't give you the right to be rude or inconsiderate. While it's generally acceptable to keep your phone with you in business settings, it should be turned off during meetings. In some social situations, having your phone on isn't appropriate.
For example, at the movie theater, no one appreciates a ringing phone, and answering it is even worse. Dining at a restaurant can be disrupted by someone at a nearby table taking calls. I've experienced people taking calls in church, and it was clear the conversation wasn't urgent.
In some cases, you may need your phone on in places like restaurants, theaters, or concert halls. If so, set it to vibrate. If it rings, discreetly check who's calling. If you must answer, excuse yourself and find a quiet area to talk.
Worldwide, some public spaces have installed phone jammers, and many places are posting signs asking people to turn off their phones. Not complying can even be costly. In New York City, for example, there's a $50 fine for using a mobile phone during indoor performances.
You can either contribute to the problem or be part of the solution. By showing consideration for others, there will be less need for jamming devices, restrictive signs, and laws imposing fines.
Ensure your voicemail is set up so people can leave messages when you can't answer. Make it a priority to return calls promptly. Just as it’s inconsiderate to take a call in inappropriate settings, it's also inconsiderate to neglect returning calls in a timely manner.
By practicing good cell phone etiquette, you continually show respect for those around you.
