Keep your phone away while having dinner
It would be rude to have a meal with other people with your cell phone in hand. Whether it’s to check the time, surf social media, call or text, this action will make you lose points in the eyes of the opposite person. Respect people the way you want to be respected.
If your phone rings and it’s an important call you have to answer, explain it to your partner and come back after the call is over. If it’s not an important call, you can ignore it and deal with it after the meal is over.

Don’t scream when talking on the phone
If the person on the other side can’t hear what you’re saying, maybe you should call them back later, when in a quieter space, the phone signal is better.

Avoid using your phone on public transport
On public transport, people are often in a state of stress, urgency or exhaustion after a working day. All they want is to get where they need to be quickly, without having to listen to your conversation about the agency or the fact that someone is having an affair.
Be polite in public, enjoy the moment with your friends, and be smart in the way you use your phone.
Lower your voice when using the phone in public
The basic etiquette when using the phone in public is not to speak at a loud volume, affecting others. This isn’t just about not shouting, it’s also about aligning your tone of voice. If you don’t want to hear someone else’s phone conversation, they certainly don’t want to hear your conversation either.
