Do you let the phone ring even if you're holding it in your hand at the moment?

No. I'll answer it right then if I have no reason not to.\n\nSome people have told me "you have to let it ring twice."  Bah.

I guess it depends on the relationship. If it's a long-term relationship, and I feel that the person I was dating would be comfortable, then I would answer the phone, take a message, etc. Basically, would I want him to do the same for me?\n\nHowever, if it's someone that I've only recently started seeing, then I probably wouldn't answer the phone. It could seem a little rude and over-reaching.

ring their cell phone, if its answered so is your question, if not, then you know, so its a win win situation for you, maybe not your friend.

do you have the "wait and see" feature thru your phone company? if not, then you won't be able to see incoming calls with call waiting. and of course you have to have a caller id phone.

Like everything else there is a time and a place.  I turn my cellphone off when I am going to go out to spend time at a social event. I put the phone on vibrate when I am going to a public place like the library , the store, or any where else that my conversation over the phone would distract others. Should a call be received in a restaurant, and if it is accepted, a person should excuse themselves from the table and go to a private area to continue the conversation. \n   No, I don't think people have any kind of cellphone etiquette. They haven't been taught like they were taught telephone manners, years ago. And there is nothing written today. People are like thougtless children. Not giving the slightest thought to the effects of their actions on people around them.

It depends on the phone.  I used to have a landline phone (I'm all mobile now, baby) that had a "SILENCE" softkey in the display when it rang.  I could press it and the call would stop ringing audibly to me, but would still ring over to the answering machine.

Why don't you call around and ask?

Just tape the song on a tiny recorder and put your phone on vibrate.  When someone calls, press play until you answer the phone.  Then everyone will think it is on your phone.\n\n.

Can you say rude? You shouldn't answer a cell phone in front of anybody, bosses, supervisors, friends or family, because it's just plain rude to let a phone call interrupt a conversation.

I have a cell phone but rarely use it......I don't see anything "cool" about it. It is convenient for emergencies : that's all.
