Mind Your Mobile Manners – A Phone Etiquette Guide

With the mobile phones outnumbering people, it is very important to remember your basic etiquette. Using phone in responsible manner and behaving considerately can make you more respectable and less annoying in front of others. With these ten simple tips you can learn the art of talking.

1. Go out and talk

Talking when you are among people can interrupt as well as annoy others. Try to move outside the room whenever you receive a call. When in public, try to use text messaging or online chatting options. This would maintain your privacy and will not affect others.

2. Keep it on silent mode

During a meeting or in churches do not forget to keep your phone on silent mode. The ring tone can easily be noticed and irritate others in such places.

3. Turn off the phone when asked

Theatres, concert halls, cinemas, weddings, church services, speeches, funerals, lectures, doctors meetings, dental surgeries do not accept mobile usage. Switch off your phone and in case you are not able to do so at least keep it on silent mode. Try to subscribe to missed call alerts, so that you can check the calls later on. Don’t be tempted to use social media in the above mentioned places.

4. Speak softly

Today's phones have a very sensitive microphone. It can easily pick your voice so there is no need to speak louder. If you are unable to hear the voice from other side, check your volume setting.

5. Respect others' privacy

If you see Rahul with his girlfriend, there is no need to capture them and post on social networking sites. Respect other’s privacy and try not to interfere in their personal life. Do not use cameras where they are prohibited. For instance, keep your camera closed in changing rooms, cinema halls and museums.

6. Think before posting

Twitter and facebook are public domain. Before posting anything, ensure that it is appropriate and will not hurt anyone. Making racist remarks on social sites is not a good idea neither good phone etiquette.

7. Keep the phone away from dining table

The urge of answering calls and staying connected should be resisted during eating hours. Do not use phones on dining table nor allow your kids to do the same.

8. Do not answer during driving

Phone calls during driving are one of the most common reasons behind accidents. Try to keep your phone in silent mode during driving. Always remember, your life is more important than any phone call.

9. Greet properly

Do not forget to greet the person after the conventional “hello”. It may be okay between friends, but others including relatives and boss might consider it disrespectful. While hanging up the phone follow the same thing.

10. Do not use phone while boarding a transport

Using phones, specially messaging during boarding can cause accidents. Moreover, it will irritate the passengers near you. Try to stop messaging while boarding.

Conclusion

Life and etiquettes are more important than the phone usage. Follow these simple tips to gain respect from others.
