Please describe the etiquette involved with these five cell phone courtesies: Safety, Volume, Proximity, Content, and Tone.

What will be an ideal response?


Safety: Do not dial your cell phone while driving or performing other dangerous tasks that require your full attention.
Volume: Speak softly, at a volume that cannot be overheard by others. Unlike traditional phones, cell phones do not allow you to hear the volume of your own voice on the line. People often speak louder than they need to on cell phones in an effort to be heard.
Proximity: Do not intrude on others' personal space; 10 feet (3 m) is the minimum distance that should be maintained between you and others while on the phone.
Content: Keep your business private. Typically, people do not wish to hear about the details of your life and find it offensive to have to listen to them. Others who may be interested in your private affairs should cause you concern.
Tone: Keep a civil and pleasant tone. Never lose your temper while on a cell phone in a public place; it does not reflect well on you.
