Do not’s for Mobile Users

Do not give your mobile phone numbers while chatting over the internet to avoid stalking. And do not lend it either.
Do not use or buy a used SIM card. Make sure your SIM card is bought and registered under your name with your permanent address,
Do not lend your mobile phone, and try to password protect the phone if the facility is available in the handset.
Do not use the mobile for obscene/pornographic images, videos or SMS and MMS.
Do not assume that any crime done with your mobile is undetectable.
Take care when using your phone in public places – do not flash it around
Avoid leaving your phone unattended - treat it like you would treat your wallet or purse
Make a note of the mobile's serial number - you can find it by typing *#06# on your phone. The serial number can help to track the mobile if it's ever stolen / lost.
Call the service provider immediately, in case your mobile phone is stolen. They will block use of the stolen SIM card in their network.
Report it to the police as soon as the crime occurs.

There are certain things people just shouldn't do with cell phones.

Do not talk on your cell phone while driving.
Do not talk on your cell phone in classrooms. (You’re disturbing others too!)
Turn your cell phone to silent/vibrate mode in Places of Worship, Funerals, Job Interviews, Banks and places where you are requested to do so.
Turn off your cell phone in flights.
Turn off the cell phones, where there is any kind of such direction from the authorities.
Do not take photos / videos using cell phones without consent of others.
Do not send, transfer or store pornographic contents using cell phones.
Turn your cell phone off when you are at the movies or at least don't check the messages – people around you will be disturbed by the screen light up.
Never take a personal mobile call during a business meeting. This includes interviews and meetings with co-workers or subordinates.
Maintain at least a 10-foot zone from anyone while talking.
Never talk in elevators, libraries, museums, restaurants, cemeteries, theaters, dentist or doctor waiting rooms, places of worship, auditoriums or other enclosed public spaces, such as hospital emergency rooms or buses.
And don't have any emotional conversations in public, ever.
Don't use loud and annoying ring tones that destroy concentration and eardrums.
Never "multi-task" by making calls while shopping, banking, waiting in line or conducting other personal business.
Help the Law Enforcement Agencies to serve you better.
