When it comes to the unwritten rules of cell phone etiquette, I often follow all of the rules for the US. What I find the hardest to understand is how some cultures don’t have voice mail at all. If voice mail didn’t exist on my phone, I’m positive I would never make it to any doctor or dentist appointment. I also like how this info graphic is constructed; having colors and pictures may seem trivial, but their presence really entices me to read the document. It’s amazing how one common piece of technology that could be found anywhere on the globe has so many different cultural perspectives.
Whenever I travel to another country, I always think about their dress etiquette instead of cell phone etiquette. I’m glad I was able to learn something new from this document and hopefully I can use some of this information the next time I travel.
