Mobile Phone Etiquette Guidlines

The Mobile Phone has become an absolute essential in the present day context. But how many of you know how to use the mobile phone without causing a nuisance to the others?

1. The ring tone and the volume-

The ring tone should be a decent one to suit the environment that you are in and the volume should be at a minimal.
Some of you love to have a personalized ring tone, such as songs, music and other sounds. However such ring tones should not be a one which annoys and irritates other people around you. If you are a professional, working in an office/company, ensure that your ring tone is suitable to your work place and your position.

2. How to answer-

If you are, at an official meeting/interview, at the cinema, theatre, attending a conference/workshop/seminar keep your mobile phone on silence/vibrate mode or switch it off completely. Do not disturb the others by taking calls or answering calls during such time. If you are inside a lift/elevator, inside a bus/train or with strangers in a public place or inside a restaurant or a shopping mall, make your conversations very short and speak in a soft manner so as not to let the others listen to your entire conversation. While you may believe it is good for your image for the others to listen to your conversation and to let them know as to who you are talking with, people are not interested in listening to your private conversations and it is a nuisance to them.

3. Conversations should not disturb the others-

In any manner your private conversations should be done in private. There is no need for the others to be a part of your private conversations with your loved ones.
