The Mobile Phone Rules And Etiquette Part 1

Yes there is such a thing as mobile phone etiquette. Like when you are in the office or in the classroom, you turn off your phones or place it on silent mode; that is already mobile phone etiquette. Mobile phone etiquette requires a lot of common sense and some people are already doing it, while others are not. Mobile phone etiquette are made so that people will use their phones more responsibly wherever they are and whatever they do. Mobile phone are communication gadgets that have been made so we can make use of it properly and not abuse it.

So here are the first three of the mobile phone etiquette rules that you should be aware of:

1. Group Messages. Isn't it just annoying to receive a text message about something that doesn't even make sense. What's worse is that you can send it to all the people in your inbox. Before you text, make sure that your message makes sense, is informative, is interesting or something that people would actually care about. It's okay that you forward messages that are inspirational, about life, love, quotes, etc. but just not personal texts such as Oh my! My dog just ate a whole pack of lasagna, I seriously hate that guy, he thinks he's so cool, The beach in our city is the best, can't wait to get a tan, etc. Who seriously would want an update of your daily routine every minute of the day? Most people do that especially teenagers and younger adults. It's pretty annoying and a waste of memory space. When you are sending group messages make sure that it's not just all about you, you, you. Save it for texts which is informative such as updates on your school/office, invitations,! seminars, etc..

2. Booty Texts. Beware the booty texts. This is similar to the one mentioned above but it's on a more personal and sexual side. By doing this, you can instantly send one message to several groups in your phonebook at the same time. You can cover a lot of territory by just creating one message. People who do booty texts find it more convenient to text and send it to a group rather than call them one by one. They would make it sound personal as if they're not sending the same thing to 20 other people in their phonebook. In the booty text territory, the person sending the text would want the other person feel that he/she is special, that he/she is giving him time and effort when it's the opposite, they are hitting far too many birds with just one stone and the chances for success is pretty high. Don't ever resort to booty calls even if you think it's just for fun.

3. Call screening. Some people just make it pretty much obvious that they don't want to talk and therefore screen numbers on their phone. It's okay to do it sometimes, it's acceptable but doing it much too often is not. I mean, you have to talk to these people now and then. Screening calls can be quite an insult especially when this has been disgracefully executed. You can screen calls from people who you don't want to talk with or annoyed with or you don't want people to know where you are and such. It's okay that you screen calls, but sometimes overdoing it could be one of the reasons why people would distance themselves from you. They are trying to contact you but you keep delaying and screening them, at least cancel the call screening and accept calls in your convenient time.

So that was just the three of the mobile phones etiquette that you should be aware of. Are you breaking any of those mobile phone etiquette? Well, it's never too late to straighten out your mobile phones etiquette.
