Telephone during taxi

A more relaxed practice on telephone use onboard has come into force with SAS. Had this message yesterday right after touch down:

“You can now switch on your mobile phone or turn off flight mode. But please refrain from having calls as a consideration to other passengers” (may not be the exact wording).

If the last part is respected, this is a small, but good improvement, so that important messages can be checked before deboarding. But well, many did that already when it was not allowed.

They should add to the message to keep the phone in silent mode. Especially these annoying chat sounds from the various IM services like Whatsapp, Skype and the rest as well as keyboard typing sounds are really a pain.

But this goes to any public place (train, lounge, restaurants, etc, .... you name it).

I have the feeling people totally lost the sense of decency or consideration for other people around them after the "always connected" age began.

I could not agree more. People should at all time have their phone on silent in public places(Just keep on the vibrator and you'll be fine).

Kind regards
"Always connected age"
