hi myLotters! a huge percentage of the world's population is using cell phones but at times i feel people are lacking the phone etiquettes. if you give a call to someone an s/he is unable to take the call then they don't take it as their duty to call you back... if the person at the other end receives a text message then they don't tend to respond to it either... people switch off their phones at any hour of the day... they avail the caller tune facility to greet the caller but the tune at times is such that the caller does not feel like talking. sometimes an unknown caller calls up and starts talking without confirming if s/he has called up the right person... after some talking they realise that they called a wrong number. there are many with loud ring tones at public places... this is a bit disturbing... so myLotters, do you take care of your cell phone etiquettes...? and what do you do when the person on the other side is not following the phone manners.

Everyone act differently. I know what you mean and you are right but what can i do? I think I have good phone manners. I know what you feel and i agree with you. Sometimes it happened that I received text messages from someone I dont know. I message them back telling them that they texted the message to a wrong phone number. Like this they can send the message again to the right person because it might be an important message. Believe it or not they dont bother to send back to thank you for letting them know. One has to be polite and apart from excusing himself, thank the other person for letting him know.

hi omiami, you seem to be gem of a person that is why you reply back even to a number that is of no concern to you. people must learn phone etiquettes from you.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. These things to me are pretty normal. They sort of are common sense but many think it differently. Bye and take care!!
