Mobile phone use in public places

If people are together in a grocery store talking to each other or in a restaurant or on an elevator or train they always talk to each other and sometimes as you call them there are "intimate details" discussed. You always hear that too so I don't really understand the difference except that the person is on the phone instead of there in person. This is modern day society. Just get over it! Cell phones are here to stay and people will use them to communicate ... when, where and how they like. Freedom of speech .... remember.

As it is illegal to speak on a phone while driving just turn it off when you get in your car, simple really.
Phone jammers are great toys to annoy people who use mobiles in public places, pity they're illegal, eh eh, best fun going to use one.

I know what you mean, not only do they yell at the top of their voices, they weave all over the pavement like drunks, & get in your way.

diz iz soooooo........Gay............hahahahahahahahahahaha diz iz for gay people hahaha tiz gay
how can people like buyin phones from here wen you can go to t mobile

If someone rings you while driving, ask them three words "Is it urgent?" If no, cut off the call and slam the phone down. Then you will be safe to drive.

I hate using mobil phone in puplic place I think it is im polite to speak in puplic place of course you will annoy the people whoms sitting next to you other wise it is diffuclt to anwser but what will you do if you have an important phon call surly you will be imdiffcult station

Driving whilst on the mobile is bad enough, but I have seen many texting, this is made a bigger problem by the phone companys giving out free texts, surely this texting whilst driving could be made impossible by the transponders recognising a mobile that is on the move, and voiding the text, or voiding all calls whilst on the move, people are getting ki11ed by it,
Watch out for swaying lorries on the motorways, a quick upward glance whilst overtaking and you can see them texting,
The roads are public places, phone texting whilst driving on them is making them very dangerous, worse than been a bit over the drink-drive limit, at least the drunks still have their eyes on the road, (and I am not condoning that).

I am 18 years old, I didnt mind the banning from using phones wen driving, because that is dangerous, but banning from public places? really what is the point, what if there is an emergency, what you gonna do? run to the nearest phone box, mobiles were invented so it was easier to communicate with people, if you dont like hearing peoples conversations then you just drone it out, get your Ipod out or use your phone yourself,

Being in my forties I remember when mobile phones did not exist.pre-mobile people were more dignified.It was only after they became plentifull and in almost every bodys possession that I learnt how truly ignorant some (not all) people can be.Only last monday I was travelling by train into victoria station.everyone was quiet except for one young south african man who talked very loudly into his phone.Every sentence was peppered with "s**t" and "yer man"
