When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．
●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．
●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）. Also try not to call at mealtimes．
●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．
