If before, in order to make a phone call, it was necessary to have a stationary device on hand, now this problem has practically disappeared: a mobile phone, which is available to almost everyone, creates the illusion of communication accessibility at any time, and sometimes the elementary framework of politeness and decency is forgotten..
"Good" tone mobile rules
Talking on a mobile phone concerns only you and the person you are talking to, so before making a call, move away from the rest of the people by a distance of about five meters. If this is not possible, it is better to postpone the call until the situation is more favorable.
If you are called at a time when you are in a crowded place, in public transport, in a subway passage, etc., it is better to take the call and promise the other person to call back later.
Do not talk loudly, especially if strangers are near you: as a rule, the quality of mobile communication allows you to hear the voice of the interlocutor talking in an undertone, while those around you will not feel any inconvenience.
The optimal time for making business calls on weekdays is from 8 to 22 hours. It is not recommended to call on business issues on Mondays before 12 noon and on Friday after 13 noon, as well as during the lunch break, but this prohibition is not strict.
After dialing, wait for an answer within 5 rings. A longer call is considered impolite.
If your call remains unanswered, etiquette is allowed to call back no earlier than 2 hours. Most likely, the called subscriber will notice a missed call and call back himself.
SMS can be sent at any time of the day. It is assumed that the subscriber who received SMS will determine the mode of their reception and the time when he will be able to read them and reply to messages.
During business negotiations, meetings, the mobile phone should be turned off. If you are waiting for an urgent call, put the device into silent mode, and before you accept the call, apologize to those present and leave the room to talk.
Traditionally, they turn off mobile phones during flights, in the hospital, in religious institutions, in the theater, as well as wherever there is a sign asking for it.
