Cell Phones and Ringtones

When I was in varsity, we were not allowed to carry our cellphones into the lecture halls. There was a lecture I remember well as the lecturer was a strict fellow. Before he entered the hall, someone reminded us to turn off our cells. Just as the lecturer was going to start his lesson, the phone rang. It blasted away some rock n roll music, and that was very loud! There were microphones on our lecture tables! Nobody moved, and the noise was almost unbearable! The lecturer then said, "Answer it, somebody!" But nobody moved. "Answer it and I won't punish you!" The assistant lecturer picked his mobile and turned it off immediately. We did not see him in class since then!

I'm living most of my life now at the university and there is no respect form the student about this matter. They just use loud and strange ringtones, even though they are warned about turning off the cellphone. I use the vibration function, and I don't use any ringtone. Its better this way since I don't get embarrassed.

actually, i always make my handphone only vibrate mode and set the volume as mute. but in one day i forgot to make it muted, so there it was. I was in a meeting with my friends, suddenly there is a handphone's ringtone, just like nokia's default ringtone, everybody looking out their handphone but not i'm because i thought mine was muted, but after all check them out, but none of them is ringing , i figured out mine , and that's was right, mine was ringing.
