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

public, no matter what vocal

volume you use
