Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I beleive mobile phones are becomming more and more acceptable to use in most situations.

I do think however that it is rude to use mobile phones during business meetings, during seminars or courses, during social meetings like lunch dinner (especially when there are only 2 of you attending).
Same applies for text.
I think you have to use the phone in situations like the above you should excuse yourself and leave the room.

I think phone calls should be kept to a minimum after about 9pm at night unless you are sure that the person is up and expecting your call. I think texts can be sent a bit later so the person has more choice about weather of not they would like to answer.
