Mobile Phone Manners
Mobile phones have changed the way we communicate (交流); they have also brought about problems in phone manners (礼仪). Gaik Lira, a Singapore-based advisor, has some advice on phone manners.
When dealing with missed calls, the person being called should return the call. "Calls should be returned as soon as possible, and no later than the following day. Anything later than that, and an apology or a reason for the delay should go with the call. "
Text messages should be kept short and to the point. If they go beyond four or five lines, call or e-mail instead. "The use of short forms should be among family members and friends, never in a business situation. "

A. Text an apology to the caller.

C. Wait till the caller calls again.
