You may not have known it, but July is National Cell Phone Courtesy Month.

We have tips so you can make sure you are always courteous while you chat.

First, be completely present in a meeting or other important event by keeping your phone silent.

Also, avoid discussing private or confidential information in public because you never know who might be listening to your phone call.

Finally, don’t text and drive!

It puts your life and the lives of others at risk.
