GSMA urges NTC of Thailand to license for 3G services
The GSMA, the global trade association for the mobile industry, urged the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) of Thailand to license the 2100MHz spectrum band for 3G services by August 2008. The rollout of 3G, enhanced by HSPA*, will greatly improve the availability of broadband services in Thailand – only 2.2%** of households have broadband connections today and the country lags behind many of its neighbours in this respect.
“Laying new fixed line connections is expensive and inefficient so high-speed mobile networks are Thailand’s best bet to realize the many social and economic benefits that arise from widespread access to broadband services,” said Ricardo Tavares, Senior Vice President for Public Policy of the GSMA. “Although refarming the 900MHz and 850MHz bands will help kickstart the Mobile Broadband market, it is also important that the licensing of the 2100MHz band proceeds at a fast pace, as many 3G and HSPA devices are designed for use in this globally harmonised band.”
GSMA Report - ‘how mobile can bring communications to all’
The GSM Association, the global trade association for the mobile industry, has called on the Indian government to cut in half the 5% levy on telecom operators’ gross adjusted revenues, which is channeled into the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF). The levy is increasing operators’ costs and ultimately the cost of mobile services for consumers. The GSMA recommends that the unspent $2.5 billion in India’s USOF be used to help tackle the bottlenecks, such as a lack of backhaul capacity and electric power, currently slowing down the rollout of mobile networks into rural areas.
"Universal Service Funds are another telecoms-specific tax that increases the cost of access for consumers,” said Gabriel Solomon, Senior Vice President of Public Policy of the GSMA, speaking at the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation’s Connecting Rural Communities Asia Forum. “Globally, 75% of the cash in Universal Service Funds is unspent*. We strongly support the call by Nirpendra Misra, the Chairman of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, to cut the 5% levy by at least half and remove handset taxes as that would make mobile phones more affordable for rural consumers and spur industry investment in currently un-served areas.”

Mobile Phones - No More a Comfort, But a Necessity
The long range, portable electronic device used for telecommunication that uses a network of specialized base stations known as cell sites are popularly known as mobile phone. Also known as hand phone, this gadget supports many other services and accessories such as SMS for text messaging, email, and MMS for sending photos and videos. Most of these mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations which are interconnected to the public switched telephone network. The history of the phones that require no cable begins from 1945. It was in that year, the zero generation of handsets got introduced. Motorola Dyna TAC was the first approved mobile phone that got released in 1983. The cellular systems needed various leaps of technology including handover that permits a conversation to continue from cell to cell. In the present day, these phones have become a popular device.
NTT launched the first commercial cellular network in 1979 in Japan. It was in the middle of eighties that fully automatic cellular networks got introduced. Radiolinja launched the first modern network technology on digital 2G in Finland in 1991. This was the beginning of the competition among the mobile companies. Nokia mobile phones, Samsung mobile phones, and LG mobile phones are some other leading names in the mobile phone market. The handsets in those periods were of big size and could not be easily carried in the pockets. It was by the middle of nineties that they became portable. The market of this particular type of phones showed a sudden increase in the developed countries. In many European countries, the total number of mobile phones is more than the number of the people. As per a study by Eurostat, Luxembourg has the highest mobile penetration rate at 158 mobile subscribers per 100 people followed by Lithuania and Italy. The mobile penetration rate in Hong Kong is 139.8% of the total population while in the U.S, it is 81%. The growth rate of African cellular markets is twice faster than Asian markets. It is the availability of pay-as-you go services that helped in the growth of the African market. India is one of the largest growing markets for mobile networks. It adds up about 6 million phones every month taking the total number of subscribers to 256.55 million.
The main problem faced by the handset users is the rise in the number of models in the market. Each model comes out carrying features and services that are technically advanced. Sony Ericsson has recently released a few models that are really stunning. It becomes necessary for the user to consider various factors while using a mobile phone. In most of the cases, it is seen that users use up every last drop of their energy before they recharge; which should be avoided. It will be foolish to recharge the phone, while it is not holding the charge for a long time. In such a case the purchase of a new battery will be more beneficial.
The life of the Mobile Phones could be extended by lowering the brightness of the screen back light. The receiving of the signal is a big reason for the drainage of the cell battery. It will be therefore better to limit playing games, listening to music, taking picture or surfing internet on the handset as all these will drain the battery faster. Make it sure that the downloading of web features, games, ring tones, wall paper and screen savers do not recur fees as it may eat a big share of the monthly bill.
The mobile subscribers while purchasing a cell phone with one or two year contract or pay-per use agreement must have a complete idea of the usage of phone. This will help in cutting short the phone bills. Never forget to ensure that the roaming charges are a part of the deal as otherwise the bills will shoot up while traveling. Be careful of the hidden costs before signing the agreement. The user should also make sure that the parts and accessories could be easily obtained from any regular phone store. Even the purchase of the mobile phone from any internet based company should not create problems in availing the spare parts.

Sony Ericsson announces year-on-year volume growth of 2%
Units shipped in the quarter were 22.3 million, a 2% increase compared to the same period last year and in line with our March 19, 2008 interim announcement of 22 million units. Sales for the quarter were Euro 2,702 million, a decrease of 8% on a year ago due to slowing market growth in mid-to-high end phones in markets where Sony Ericsson has a strong presence.
Gross margin was one percentage point lower than Q1 2007, reflecting a less favourable product mix. Income before taxes for the quarter was Euro 193 million, which was at the higher end of the range (Euro 150-200 million) we announced on March 19, 2008. This represented a decrease of 47% compared with a year ago, due to higher R&D investments as a percentage of sales, and reflecting that Q1 2007 was a particularly strong first quarter for the company. Net income for the quarter was 48% lower, at Euro 133 million.
“Sony Ericsson continues to invest in expanding its product portfolio to appeal to a wider variety of consumers in both new and existing markets,” said Dick Komiyama, President, Sony Ericsson. “Our product announcements during the first quarter have been well received by the industry, and we expect to see a positive effect from these announcements during the second half of 2008.”

Samsung teams up with Beyonce for SGH-F300
SAMSUNG, an innovator in the mobile industry, announced the collaboration of its Ultra Music (SGH-F300) with Beyonce, world’s renowned actress and artist. SAMSUNG and Beyonce will participate in TV commercials, advertisements, global concert tours, and other co-promotional activities.
SAMSUNG’s Ultra Music TV commercial, starring Beyonce, will kick off the campaign globally in May, starting from Europe and CIS and expanding to other countries where SAMSUNG Ultra Music phones are available. In addition, Ultra Music mobile users will have exclusive access to Beyoncé’s latest hit “Irreplaceable,” which comes embedded in their mobile phones.
SAMSUNG mobiles cover a wide range of consumer needs with the right balance of stylish designs, form factors, and the latest technological features. Beyonce is a talented individual who has shown her versatility in the entertainment industry through music, acting, and as a fashion icon.
Samsung SGH-F700 with minimalist twist
Announced just one month after the iPhone's momentous launch, the SAMSUNG SGH-F700 bears a striking resemblance to Apple's phone. Touted by some pundits as the iPhone killer, the F700 has yet to fulfill the expectations since its launch last year.
Looks Can Kill:
Without a doubt, the F700 is a looker of a phone. The glossy finish of its exterior manages to conceal the plastic origins of its chassis while you can replace the back cover with a non-glossy version if you can't stand unsightly fingerprint smudges.
The relatively sparse front profile is complemented by side buttons which give quick access to volume and camera functions. The lack of the usual keypad is remedied with an on-screen touch version and a QWERTY keyboard that easily slides out with a whoosh. The USB data connection and earphone jacks are located at the top of the unit, while the microSD expansion slot that supports up to 4GB's worth of data is hidden behind the back cover, which is slightly inconvenient if tolerable. The 3.0-megapixel camera is also located behind, but it lacks a protective lens cover.
Samsung i550 powered by Symbian platform
Lately, we've seen a myriad of SAMSUNG mobile phones powered by the Symbian platform in the race to produce a mobile device that merges both simplicity and productivity. The SAMSUNG i550 seems intent on that purpose and is designed as a Symbian powerhouse that could give its competitors a run for their money.
Sliding Doors:
Out of the box, the i550W gives a slightly lacklustre impression due to its plastic build. Nonetheless, this is the reason why it's only 109g, which bodes well for consumers with a penchant for lighter phones. On the display front, SAMSUNG is definitely generous, delivering a 2.6" TFT screen with 262k colours while supporting a standard resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Moving downwards, we had a slight grouse with the i550W's keypad design. Like the Nokia's N82, the individual numeric keys are too thin for effective typing, though it does have a greater degree of traction for a better tactile feel as opposed to the N82's smoother keys. We also found the trackball sensitivity to be lacking compared to the Blackberry Pearl series. Besides the standard Call and End button, there are two user assigned shortcut keys and four dedicated shortcuts for the Main Menu, Web Browser, GPS and Multimedia.
Giant Samsung phone in Hand Icon unveils at Pearson
Visitors traveling to and from Toronto’s Pearson International Airport will notice a unique icon blending art and advertising. Toronto has become the 22nd international airport to erect a 50 foot tall outdoor sculpture of a hand holding a Samsung branded cell phone.
The unique structure is part of Samsung’s global and innovative “World In Your Hand” campaign that began in France’s Charles De Gaulle International Airport in 2002. Since then, similar sculptures have been placed in high-traffic airports including those in Paris, London and Dubai. Samsung also plans to expand the campaign to 35 more airports in the coming years.
“These impressive sculptures symbolize Samsung’s role as an innovator in the wireless market and our goal to bring people together through communication,” says Benjamin Lee, President, Samsung Canada. “Specifically in the Canadian market, this sculpture represents Samsung’s strong brand presence and our excitement to be a Worldwide Olympic Partner for the upcoming Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics.”

Two New Mobiles To Peruse
News has been leaked onto the internet about two new Sony Ericsson mobile phones due out later this year. The two phones are the Sony Ericsson G502 and the Sony Ericsson P1 and they should be announced officially by the mobile manufacturer later this week - when more information will be known about the specifications.

There is nothing truly spectacular about the Sony Ericsson G502, but that does not necessarily mean it is a poor quality phone. Sony Ericsson mobiles are generally good quality, even the 2 megapixel camera will be of a high standard image on the screen. And the HSDPA should set it apart from a few other mobiles on the market.
Finally there is the Sony Ericsson P5, which is the new smartphone offering from the popular manufacturer. Slightly less is known about this mobile, but what few things we do know are very exciting. The Sony Ericsson P5 is a smartphone with a qwerty keypad hidden under the slide part. It will be a smartphone running off the latest UIQ 3.3 UI for Symbian operating system, with a 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA.

The Sony Ericsson P1-Mobile Review
Join me, as I tell you about why I love this king among mobile phones, the beautiful Sony Ericsson P1.
Sony Ericsson - redefining the smartphone
Sony Ericsson are, in my opinion, one of the single best mobile phone manufacturers on the planet. But then, I would say that, since all but one of my mobile phones have been Sony Ericsson (the one that wasn't was a Samsung... nice, but not in the same league). One of the big things they've become known for is their range of smartphones. Over the years, they've produced some real stunners: the P800, P900, P910, P990 (although most people didn't like this one as much, I did...) and the most recent, the P1. That, right there, is their entire back catalogue of P-series smartphones. And yes, I've owned every single one of those. I can honestly say I will, in all likelihood, never use anything but a Sony Ericsson smartphone, for the rest of my life, because, well, they really are stunners.
But why are they? Let's take a look at the latest, the P1, and see why it's so good.
The P1 - showing the world what mobile phones SHOULD be like!
In one word, if I had to describe the Sony Ericsson P1, it would be: stunning! Based around the Symbian UIQ3 interface, with a full touchscreen, and QWERTY keyboard, it's very clear that this phone is designed to be more than just a phone. the best way to think of it would be as a computer in your hand. with a super-powered processor, 128Mb of RAM, it combines the power of something like a Windows Mobile device with the ease of use that we've come to expect from mobile phones.
And that, right there, is why it's the king of smartphones. Not because it's the most powerful (it's not), not because it's the prettiest (it's not, although it is gorgeous), and not because it's the fastest (it's not). It's very simple; it's the combination of those elements. So, while there may be more powerful, faster, or prettier mobile phones out there, the simple fact is that nothing, NOTHING mixes it all up, and puts it all together as well as the Sony Ericsson P1. That's why i adore it, and it's also why I'll be getting its successor, the P5 when it finally gets launched!

HTC Touch Dual is Upgrade to HTC Touch PDA Phone
PDA mobile phones are not as widely marketed as the mainstream handset models purely down to the fact that they are mostly purchased by businesses and professionals rather than the man on the street.
This range of mobile handsets offers far more software options for dealing with office tasks such as email, spreadsheets and PDF presentations and usually feature a far larger display screen for viewing documents as well as in some instances touchscreen technology for menu navigation.
The HTC Touch was the first mobile phone to feature a new navigation technology called TouchFlo, this meant that users could simply run their finger across that screen to flick through their menu and then tap to select an option. The technology negated the need for a stylus which is the traditional way of using a touchscreen device, the stylus is a small stick manufactured from either plastic or metal that is used as a pen would be for touching the screen.
HTC have now upgraded the Touch model and released the Touch Dual, some will argue that it is not actually an upgraded version as ome of the features have been removed but it is the next handset to be released in the range and therefore is classed as an upgrade.
The HTC Touch Dual has lost WiFi capabilities but gained 3.5G HSDPA connectivity on top of the existing GPRS and EDGE Technology. At the touch of a button, a keyboard is revealed beneath the sliding screen with a choice of either a 12 key number keypad or 20 key Qwerty keypad depending on country and operator.
Because of the sliding mechanism, the HTC Touch Dual has also been referred to as the HTC Slide, but its official name is HTC Touch Dual.
As with the HTC Touch version, the Dual utilises TouchFlo technology, enabling users to control 3D images and browse through emails, messages and music files with their fingertip.
The 2.6 inch touchscreen encompasses handwriting recognition with the use of a stylus for those preferring the old fashioned method.
The Operating System as one would expect with today's smartphones, is Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional with Pocket Office and powered by a 400Mhz Qualcomm processor. Offering 256MB of expandable memory, the HTC Touch Dual is equipped with a 2 mega pixel camera with digital zoom and video record and a secondary front mounted camera for video calling.
The Music Player supports both MP3 and AAC audio file formats and USB connectivity makes for easy synchronisation of contacts and calendar entries plus downloading playlists directly onto your mobile from your PC.
Bluetooth Wireless Technology comes with A2DP Stereo support and with Live HTC Home you can view emails, missed calls, messages, weather reports and more with a single button press.
As you can see there have been many improvements to what was a ground-braking handset with added features complimented by a new design. The overall measurements are 107 x 55 x 15.8 mm and the Dual is slightly heaver at 120 grams due to the extra weight of the slide out keyboard.
Users may not be happy with the loss of WiFi but the added 3.5G technology will make for far faster download times essential in todays busy workplace.

Younger people get into mobile banking
Most Americans are still hesitant about banking with their cellphones and PDAs, but young people are increasingly accepting mobile banking, according to a survey.
Serving the needs of tech-savvy customers will be crucial for banks to stay competitive as the collective income of baby boomers' children is expected to surge over the next 10 years and exceed that of their parents.
So far, though most major banks offer mobile banking, 89% of consumers don't use their cellphones to conduct banking transactions, according to the study by IBM's retail banking consulting practice.
The results are based on a phone survey of 1,424 adults, ages 18 or older, conducted Jan. 24-28 by Opinion Research. To qualify, respondents had to own a cellphone and have a bank account. The margin of error was plus or minus 2 percentage points.
The study found that 21% of consumers ages 18-34 use their cellphones for banking transactions, compared with about 10% of the general population. These numbers, particularly for younger consumers, are expected to grow significantly.
Research firm Aite Group predicts that mobile-banking users in the USA, having ballooned from a negligible number at the end of 2006 to 1.7 million by the end of last year, will rise to 8 million by the end of this year.
By 2010, Aite Group forecasts, 35 million Americans will be mobile-banking users.
Nine of the 10 top banks offer mobile banking. Bank of America has the most mobile-banking customers — about half a million — according to Aite Group.
But setting up the technology is just the first step. Reputation is also important, because the top reason for avoiding mobile banking — given by 65% of the respondents — was fear that their personal information isn't secure. And technology is vital because, even though online banking is becoming more common, the notion of doing banking outside a branch remains in its early stages.

Bluetooth Phones - Ins and Outs of Bluetooth
Purchasers of mobiles know what the Bluetooth is all about. For them this is a device through which they transfer data and information. But very few people know – what the Bluetooth is all about? And what is the specifications and characteristics of the new technology. Bluetooth is a short-range radio frequency (RF) technology that operates at 2.4 Ghz. The Bluetooth enabled devices is capable of transmitting voice and data. And it works better at the range of 32 feet (10 meters).
Another question that is being asked very often is: How is Bluetooth used? The answer according to the gsmfavorites is, “Bluetooth can be used to wirelessly synchronize and transfer data among devices. Bluetooth can be thought of as a cable replacement technology. Typical uses include automatically synchronizing contact and calendar information among desktop, notebook and palmtop computers without connecting cables. Bluetooth can also be used to access a network or the Internet with a notebook computer by connecting wirelessly to a cellular phone.”
Another very prominent question that is being asked and it is in everyone's mind is: How secure is a Bluetooth network? According to the gsmfavorites.com, it is “Bluetooth is extremely secure in that it employs several layers of data encryption and user authentication measures. Bluetooth devices use a combination of the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and a Bluetooth address to identify other Bluetooth devices. Data encryption (i.e., 128-bit) can be used to further enhance the degree of Bluetooth security. The transmission scheme (FHSS) provides another level of security in itself. Instead of transmitting over one frequency within the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth radios use a fast frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technique, allowing only synchronized receivers to access the transmitted data.”Another very important question is : Is Bluetooth Phones practical for use with mobile devices? According to gsmfavorites.com, it is “Yes. One concern for mobile computing users is power consumption. Bluetooth radios are very low power, drawing as little as 0.3mA in standby mode and 30mA during sustained data transmissions. Bluetooth radios alternate among power-saving modes in which device activity is lowered to maximize the mobile power supply.”

Mobile Phones and their Multiple Uses!
A great way of staying connected even if you are far away is mobile phones. They provide the users with a sense of security. In the event of emergency, having a mobile phone can allow you to contact anyone quickly.
Earlier, the use of mobile phones was associated with financiers and businessmen. However, a massive growth in the industry came about and usage spread to a far wider range of people.
Some people use a mobile phone to access stock market prices or business information but that does not account for its main use. Teenagers welcomed mobile phones partly because the phones suited their mobile lifestyles and partly because with mobile phones they could have their personal conversations as well as some fun. They use their phones to send text messages as much as they use for conversations.
With the coming of advanced designs, mobile phones have become a fashion accessory and their designs and looks have become as important as their functionality.
Today, camera phones have become very popular as they give you the freedom of taking pictures on the move. This feature has attracted many people and they have upgraded their basic mobile phone to a camera mobile phone. You can now make use of this feature by storing pictures of your friends, relatives or even your favourite style icon or anything else that comes into their mind.
One of the major difficulties for the mobile phone industry is to predict what services would be in demand in the future. Most of the people think that access to the Internet will be the mobile industry’s next major advance. That access could be used to enhance its entertainment and leisure facilities or it could be used for business purposes.
Another use of mobile devices is location commerce. The idea is to send targeted messages to people via mobile phones based on where they are. For example, information about traffic conditions could be sent to motorists in the relevant area.
Although, its potential uses might not be taken seriously, the interest of telecommunications industry is very serious. If the phones appeal to consumers for whatever reason, the industry will prosper. If they do not appeal they are bound to be commercial failures.

HiPhone i32 - The Newest iClone To Improve Upon iPhone Technology
Chinese manufacturers have taken notice of consumer demand for the innovative technology of the iPhone. Few can argue that the iPhone's touch screen and the ability to house web browsing, MP3, MP4, video, and camera capabilities into one sleek and small phone is a very useful idea.
The iPhone, however, had a few snags that along with its high price, made some consumers understandably nervous. Chinese manufacturers took note of this and took immediate action, addressing and fixing the iPhone's problem areas and bringing the price down to a reasonable level. It is for these reasons that Chinese mobile phone manufacturers are enjoying a great deal of success right now.
The HiPhone i32 is a shining example of one of the most popular Chinese iClones. With its "99% iPhone slogan," the HiPhone has established itself as a leader among clones. With it's standard 3.5 inch high resolution touch screen, it's seamless web browsing, video, music, photo, webcam, and Bluetooth capabilities, the HiPhone is loaded with features. However, it is the phone's ability to improve upon the iPhone that has made consumers take notice.
The HiPhone has added an additional sim card to the iPhone's design. This is appealing to consumers who carry two cell phones or who have two mobile phone numbers. There is no need to turn off the phone to access either sim.
The HiPhone requires no software. The phone will recognize any sim worldwide.
Addressing complaints that the iPhone requires you to take it to the dealer when the battery dies, the HiPhone includes a removable battery and has again improved upon the iPhone by adding additional surround sound speakers.
Perhaps the most popular features of this phone are: the ability to use your own carrier; the slide unlock feature; and the HiPhone's "shake technology". If you're listing to music on the HiPhone and want to move on to another song, you do not need to look down or scroll through. You simply slightly shake the phone and the phone will move the music forward.
At about $150, the HiPhone is already very competitively priced. This price will probably come down even more once more phones become available. Considering the pretty decent savings over the basic cost of an iPhone (not even counting AT&T service), the HiPhone is attractive to consumers who don't want to pay top dollar for the hottest phone technology on the market today.

Is A New iPhone On Its Way?
Apple has not indicated how often they plan to update their hot selling iPhone, however there is major rumors that a new iPhone is on it's way, it might be as early as this summer. As with every rumor, many details emerge with only the consumer being able to decide for themselves if they are willing to accept the details or to steer it away as just being someones wild imagination. Some say that the design for the new iPhone has leaked, however many dismiss it as being unlikely.
Why should Apple need to update their iPhone, when their iPhone is a record hot selling cell phone, and is keeping strong in sales for almost a year? The answer is Wall Street.
At the announcement of the iPhone by Apple's Steve Jobs, Steve has raised expectations too high by specifying Apple's target of selling 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. Now even though Apple announced in January of this year that since its launch of the iPhone on June 29 and up to mid-January, it had sold 4 million iPhones, most analysts were expecting a number more like 5 million. So even though the iPhone has been far more successful than anyone should have expected, since Apple has over estimated at it's launch it has caused shares to stumble.
However, Apple's Chief Financial Officer Peter Oppenheimer has announced in Jan. of 2008 that Apple is still "feeling confident" about reaching its goal of 10 million iPhones by the end of 2008. The question is, how will Apple do it? New markets is very unlikely to help the dilemma, since Apple has already targeted the global market in the past, not leaving any room for further expansion. Now the only market left aside by Apple in the past was China. However, the iPhone is too expensive for China and, besides, China has already got a bunch of iPhone counterfeit clones for Apple to compete with.
The next option would be new prices, however, although lowering prices will increase sales, analysts are skeptical if will get Apple to their 10 million goal, since it is highly unlikely that cheapskate holdouts will out-buy the Apple fans and gadget freaks who already own iPhones.
So the only way Apple could possibly feel "confident" of reaching 10 million units by the end of 2008 is if the company were to sell more iPhones during next year's holiday season than it did during the 2007 season. And the only way to do that is to sell to existing users. And the only way to do that is to come out with a new iPhone.

Cell Phone Etiquette Made Easy
I frequently use my cell phone just as much as the next person, but one has to demonstrate more courtesy when taking a call. Cell phone users today tend to chat too loudly in public, reveal inappropriately information around strangers and quite frankly, are just down right rude when in the presence of company, on a date, at a function or in the middle of a business meeting.
I'm sure you are guilty of one of these situations because I know I am. While I was in church once, my cell phone started to blare off right in the middle of Sunday service. You can imagine how LOUD my cell phone must have sounded as it echoed throughout the church with churchgoers angrily gawking at me. I was terribly embarrassed, but since then learned how to use my cell phone more politely and professionally. It's easy and everyone can do it. All it takes is a moment to consciously think where you are, whom you are with and what you are doing when taking a call.
Family and Friends
It's easy to be comfortable around your family and friends because you know them and you can be yourself. However, that doesn't mean to treat them as if they are not important when your cell phone rings. Your family doesn't get to see you much and I'm sure they love spending time with you. Therefore, when a call comes in politely excuse yourself out of the room or even better, let the call go to voicemail. If you must take the call, which by the way should only be for emergencies, be sure to keep it short. Your family will appreciate it and it will show them they are important to you.
The same goes for when you are with friends. Politely step out of the room when your cell phone rings and let the caller know you are with company and will call them back. Keep the conversation brief and return to your guests as quickly as possible. Calls from parents, children or an emergency should be the only exceptions. Otherwise, don't blatantly alienate your friends. It's rude and I'm sure you hate it just as much when they yak away on their cell phone in front of you.
Business Meetings
Whether you are at an internship, on a job interview or in a business meeting, you should be smart enough to know to put your cell phone on mute or on vibrate. If it does ring, quickly turn your cell phone off and apologize for the interruption. Yes I am fully aware that there are times when you do need to have your cell phone on for calls, but this should NEVER be during a job interview. At an internship it's simple to let your supervisor know you are expecting an important phone call, but as always keep conversations short. It's just the same during business meetings. Let your colleagues know you have to take an important call and again, politely excuse yourself and keep your calls short.
On a Date
First of all if your phone goes off on a date and you sit there chatting away like the other person doesn't exist, don't be surprised if your date doesn't ever want to see you again. A solution around this: send text messages. Yes texting is your friend when on a date, but please, please, please be discreet about it. I often send text messages when I'm in the restroom or when my date is in the restroom. Yeah sure I text my friends to give them the low down on my date, but most importantly to let them know I'm ok and my whereabouts. You can never be too safe these days and communicating on your cell phone during circumstances like this is more than acceptable. But again, be discreet.
At Functions (i.e. movies, plays, funerals, weddings)
Don't make the mistake like I did with the church situation. Please mute your phone or put it on vibrate. Better yet, turn it off. Of course you may need to keep your phone on for the babysitter or to give directions to relatives, but being polite and respectful to those around you is the name of the game here.
In Restaurants
I remember once I was at P. Diddy's restaurant in Manhattan and could not believe how the five acquaintances I was with all placed their cell phones on the dinner table. Hello!! We are about to have dinner and drinks!! Instead, these people were too busy trying to look cute and more interested in trying to impress someone. It was a turn off and to say the least I was not impressed. Rather, I found it immature and very tacky. Keep you cell phone on your hip or in your purse; not on the table.
In Public
This is the number one complaint when it comes to cell phone users. Talking too darn loud in public and/or
