For The Tech Etiquette project, our group decided to do the proper
ways and times to use a cell phone. People can sometimes seem
rude to other people if they don’t know cell phone etiquette. We
created this website in order to help people learn cell phone etiquette.
The group members are Diana S, Karen K, Jimmy P, and Edgar H.
The most ways people misuse a cell phone is when they’re outside and
they feel a need to scream into the phone. It could be a huge
distraction and can effect people all around you, so try to speak lower
because the person on the other line will still be able to hear you.
Welcome to our website!
Just to let you know, these are the cell Phone laws;
Cell Phone Laws

1. For purposes of this section, the following terms shall mean:
(a)
"Mobile telephone" shall mean the device used by subscribers and other
users of wireless telephone service to access such service. (b)
"Wireless telephone service" shall mean two-way real time voice
telecommunications service that is interconnected to a public switched
telephone network and is provided by a commercial mobile radio service,
as such term is defined by 47 C.F.R. S 20.3. (c) "Using" shall mean holding a mobile telephone to, or in the immediate proximity of, the user's ear. (d) "Hand-held mobile telephone" shall mean a mobile telephone with which a user engages in a call using at least one hand. (e)
"Hands-free mobile telephone" shall mean a mobile telephone that has an
internal feature or function, or that is equipped with an attachment or
addition, whether or not permanently part of such mobile telephone, by
which a user engages in a call without the use of either hand, whether
or not the use of either hand is necessary to activate, deactivate or
initiate a function of such telephone. (f) "Engage in a call"
shall mean talking into or listening on a hand-held mobile telephone,
but shall not include holding a mobile telephone to activate,
deactivate or initiate a function of such telephone. (g)
"Immediate proximity" shall mean that distance as permits the operator
of a mobile telephone to hear telecommunications transmitted over such

section, no person shall operate a motor vehicle upon a public highway
while using a mobile telephone to engage in a call while such vehicle
is in motion. (b) An operator of a motor vehicle who holds a mobile
telephone to, or in the immediate proximity of his or her ear while
such vehicle is in motion is presumed to be engaging in a call within
the meaning of this section. The presumption established by this
subdivision is rebuttable by evidence tending to show that the operator
was not engaged in a call. (c) The provisions of this section shall not
be construed as authorizing the seizure or forfeiture of a mobile
telephone, unless otherwise provided by law.
