Curb your “Cell Fish” b...

4. Expecting an important phone call? Let everyone your with know ahead. This is a great time to use your caller id and only take the important call.

5. Need to make a quick call? Ask the people your with, “Do you mind if I make a call?”

6. During meetings, meals, theatres, and churches be polite and put your phone on vibrate. If you must take a call excuse yourself and answer the call out of ear shot.

7. Forgot to turn off your phone in a theatre, if it rings, try pressing the "end" button 2-3 times to interrupt the call then power off your cell phone. Don't attempt to answer, even whispering is an interruption.

8. If out doing errands and your phone rings, don’t try to multi-task. Stop what you’re doing.

9. If waiting in line, keep incoming call short and lower your voice level. The people around you are stuck in line and don’t need to hear your whole one-sided conversation.

10. If you have a bad connection, just tell the person your call them back when you have a better signal. Don’t shout; it just makes it fragment more.
