11 Rules About Cell Phone Etiquette

Restaurants: Put your phone on vibrate to prevent creating unnecessary noise if your cell phone rings. Only make outgoing calls if necessary and keep them brief; better yet, take the phone to the lobby or outside so you don't bother others who are trying to enjoy a relaxing meal. When people call you, let them know that you are eating, and unless it’s an emergency, tell them you’ll call back later. If you stay in the dining area, keep your voice as low as possible.
