Cell Phone Etiquette for 2012

If you’ve ever cringed when a ringing cell phone has interrupted a live performance or someone has taken a call in your presence when they should have stepped away, AT&T encourages all cell phone users to make a resolution to follow proper cell phone etiquette in 2012.

AT&T is advocating for everyone to start the year off right with improved cell phone etiquette.  

Here are AT&T’s Top Five Tips for cellphone etiquette to most of your time with people – not your phone – all year long.

• Quiet as a Mouse – All cell phones should be on silent or vibrate mode

• Take it Outside – If you must take or make a call, step away from your group.   

• Avoid Email Overload – Unless you are waiting on something urgent, wait until after your meal to check your email.

• Stop With the Paparazzi Already – Everything doesn’t need to be posted on Facebook.  Take a break from photographing your friends and family – interact with them.

• Hide the Games – Wait to play Words with Friends or Angry Birds until you’re on your way home.

Because cell phone etiquette is as important now as it was in 1995.
Take a look at that phone!
