The fake phone call etiquette
In this trend revealing article by Amy Harmon for the NY Times, where she describes how and why people fake talking on their cellphone in public places (blogged about more extensively in Textually), some interesting tidbits on doing it the right way - and not getting caught as a cellphony:
"-- To pretend a call is coming in, press the speakerphone button to make a ringing sound. And make sure you turn the phone off to prevent your cover from being blown. Or at least set it to vibrate. (That is a lesson Scott Spector, 15, learned the hard way, when his phone started blasting his "American Idol Theme" ring tone as he was pretending to talk into it in the hall at school last month.)"
-- To show off a ringtone, program a cell phone to call at a certain time".
