New Survey Explores Attitudes of U.S. Cell Phone Users

Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung) announced the findings of a survey focused on consumer cell phone etiquette. Surprisingly, the survey revealed that while the West Coast was a little less tolerant of public cell phone use, there seemed to be a general agreement on when and where not to make or receive cell phone calls.

CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE

The Do's And Don'ts. More than one in three Americans (34%) says it's OK to talk on your cell phone while at a restaurant. Regarding answering cell phones in other questionable situations, such as a movie theater, a restaurant, a private conversation, a group setting like a class or a meeting or a first date, they are considerably less enthused.

I Wonder If He's In To Me... I'll Ask Him When He Gets Off The Phone. One in ten Americans (11%) thinks it's perfectly fine to answer their phone while on a first date.

Not Another Teen Movie! Almost one in ten teenagers (9%) says it is OK to answer a cell phone while in a movie theater.

People Are So Rude! Hold On, I've Got To Take This Call... A majority of Americans say they themselves are extremely considerate of others when talking on their cell phone (57%) but the average person, on the other hand, is not very considerate (51%).
