The Cell Phone Guide for Newbies!

Is this a reason why we must sell cell phones now?

Because of the massive effect of cell phones in the modern days, cell phone users seem to be ignorant when it comes to setting boundaries. In this article, we hope that people will be enlightened and guided in the most appropriate way of using their cell phones especially in public places.

1. Turn down the ringer. It is prescribed that you lower the volume of the ringer when you are in a public setting. Better yet, if you are in doubt, turn it into mute mode. But if you can't afford to miss a call, I suggest you just put your cell phone into vibrate mode so that you can feel is there is a message to be read or an incoming call. The key is that you will not distract others especially if you are in a theater or in a meeting.

2. Choose ringtones that you will not regret. We love to personalize everything on our phones i.e. the wall paper, the playlist, and our ringtones. This is definitely a hit especially if you own a smartphone. On smartphones, you can choose what song you would like to play when there is a call. But you have to choose your ringtone wisely, or you will forever say goodbye to a good impression on you. Do not choose a ringtone that isn't right for your age, or professional background. Choose a simple one, instead. Or just sell old phones online: That's a better choice!

3. Don't yell while talking on the phone. If the call is choppy or static, better hang up. It's not necessary to turn up the volume of your voice. For some reasons, a lot of users talk on the phone as if they are arguing with the person on the other end of the line. You see, talking too loud will not make the experience enjoyable. Not to mention, the receiver will only find you too brash for a casual phone conversation.

4. Do not talk too loud if others can hear you. Even if you are not talking about a personal or private matter, try to maintain a distance from the nearest person in the area while attending to the call. To be safe, find a quiet area where you can talk comfortably.

5. Don't text and drive at the same time. This tip/warning/reminder bears repeating: Many people DIE of car accidents because of irresponsible driving. Which is more important? Your life and your car? Or the call? Set your priorities straight!

6. Excuse yourself before taking the call. When there is an incoming call, do not forget that you also have the company you are with. Excuse yourself graciously and take the call. Keep it short so as not to send the message that the call is more important than the person you are presently with.
