.Mobile Phone Manners
Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate; they have also spawned new forms of bad behaviour. Gaik Lim, a Singapore-based social etiquette consultant-trainer who gives seminar on mobile phone decorum, has some tips on phone manners. When dealing with missed calls, the onus is on the recipient to return the call. “calls should be returned as soon as possible, and no later than the following day. Anything later than that and the call should be accompanied by an apology and the reason for the delay.” Text message should be kept brief and to the point. If they go beyond four or five lines, call or e-mail instead. ”The use of short forms also be confined to family and friends, never within a business context.” Speak at the volume you would use when talking to someone next to you. If you encounter bad reception, don’t raise your voice in order to be heard, simply move to another spot where the reception may be better.
