To switch off your mobile phone inside the company, locate the turn-off switch on your mobile. If you cannot find it, ask someone to help you locate it or visit any mobile shop. Once you locate your mobile ON-OFF switch, just press it for a few seconds and *whoosh* your mobile gets switched off. Isn't that amazing? :)

I agree with Mahesh; I think this guy was asking about the Communication Policy of the Company.
Dear Zakir,
This depends on the company policies, whether the company has provided an alternate source for receiving emergency messages, i.e., Desk Phone or not. The company may ban the usage of Personal Mobile phones inside the premises, but this will be applicable to everyone.
Hope this suggestion will fulfill your requirement.

your reply lack basic ethics. The TS was asking as to whether it is proper to use mobile phone inside office premises or not. Are you not able to grasp the query? then you are dumbass

You switch off the mobile phone, then there is no issue when you think that it is against your company policy. If you are in an executive position, maybe the company may have provided you with other communication means equivalent to a mobile phone, so there is nothing to worry about. Please switch off the mobile phone definitely.

Dear Zakihr,
Your question is not perfect, but in my view, if you are working in Chemical/petrochemical or in any office, the rules are different. Anyway, I am giving here some mobile tips for all that....
10 Smart Phone Etiquette Tips
What's with every Tom, Dick, and Harry roaming around with a hi-tech business phone trying to feel important? Most of them are up to nothing constructive and barely even know how to do anything other than call, text, click photos, and update their Facebook status! But that's not my problem. What really irks me is when the little monster shows up to a nice dinner and keeps on buzzing like a baby crying for attention.
Below are 10 tips to help you use that smartphone with discretion.
1. If you're on a date at a restaurant (or just having a meal with family, friends, or even alone), put your phone on silent and leave it in your bag. Make a habit of enjoying your meals. It doesn't even last an hour. Plus, you can always return the missed calls, reply to messages, or check email once you're done.
2. Traveling by public transport and find it hard to hear what the person on the other end of the line is saying? Instead of shouting your lungs out, annoying fellow passengers, and letting everyone in on your conversation, tell the person you'll call back. How hard is that?!
3. In an office meeting, make sure your phone is on silent/vibrate mode. It's the decent thing to do when your boss is addressing you. If the call is absolutely urgent, excuse yourself for a minute before answering. P.S. Walking up and down the aisles talking loudly (and persuasively) to clients makes us want to take your phone and flush it down, you know where.
4. When you are contacting a friend after a long time, do not text. It's most impersonal and conveys you are doing it out of obligation. Pick up the phone and call for heaven's sake!
5. Never carry your cell phone to the restroom. If you do, make sure it stays in your pocket. It's really creepy when you mysteriously hear someone from one of the stalls engaging in a full-fledged conversation that you have no desire to eavesdrop on.
6. Always put your phone on silent at a place of worship, hospital, theatre, funeral... you get the drift. If the incoming call is urgent, leave the premises or find a secluded spot to answer it. Talking in such places is plain impolite.
7. Everyone needs to unwind after a long day – a couple of drinks with friends, club-hopping, or just a good ol' movie with your spouse. Relax and appreciate the company you are with and don't tweet 'Having a blast with my gal pals'. Aargh! If you really are having a good time, you'd be too occupied to go viral about it.
8. Just because you're up all night strategizing, doesn't mean you SMS your colleagues at 2 am with some brainwave you just had! Reserve that for the next workday or since you are so tech-savvy, send an email.
9. Set your ringtone as per the occasion; that's why your smartphone allows you to select various profiles. That Cuppy Cake ringtone in a board meeting is a strict no-no. Another annoying thing is when you go through the millions of ringtone options or check voicemail in public. We don't want to hear it!
10. When you're waiting your turn at the doctor's, playing games on your phone is a great way to pass the time. Just make sure your phone is on silent. It's unfunny when we're made to listen to constant sound effects, especially if we're reading a magazine.

Hi, Zakir,
Why do you want to switch off your mobile when you are in the office? If you switch off your mobile, your near and dear ones will not be able to contact you in any emergency. The very purpose of the mobile will be defeated. A mobile is an instrument that keeps you connected with all your near and dear ones. It is better that instead of keeping the mobile switched off, you may keep it in silent and vibration mode. In this case, you may not miss the call.

Hi,
I think the person wants to implement a strategy wherein all employees should keep their phones switched off. Because this is a major problem in many organizations and can be beneficial in increasing employee productivity. But due to a lack of knowledge, the meaning has changed. So please help in that context.

Guys,
We call ourselves professionals and preach HR (HUMAN) Res. Why do we forget that 72% of our population is still rural?
No one asked Zakir to explain the same in vernacular or else ROMAN ENGLISH. (WO ACCHI TARAH SAMJHA PATA APNE SAWAAL KO).
Let's understand that Communication does not mean "ENGLISH SPEAKING." It's the ability to express oneself.
What I understand from Zakir's query is "that he wants to ensure how he can get people to switch OFF the mobile phones once they are in the company premises" (KI JAB TAK EMPLOYEE / CLIENT COMPANY KE ANDAR HO USKA MOBILE OFF RAHE / AAP CHAHTE HAIN KI LOG COMPANY KE ANDAR MOBILE KA ISTEMAL NA KARE).
More and more companies (mostly IT/ COMPLIANCE ISSUES RELATED) are ensuring that mobile phones are absolutely banned on the premises.
So Zakir,
What you can do is:
1. Make sure that it's properly displayed at the entrance of the building/ premises that mobile phones can't be used and make proper arrangements at the entrance with the security for the proper receipt of all such devices. (Kripya apni company ke darwaze/ gate pe guard ke saath poster lagayen aur mobile rakhne ka uchit bandobast rakhen).
2. Have every desk (employee desk) display a notice that mobile phones have to be switched off. (Har desk pe notice lagayen ki mobile band karna/ rakhna padega).
3. Notice through the owners/directors/partners. (apni company ke maalik/ director saab ya partner se baat kar ke notice lagwayen).
I hope this helps.

Think positively and take advantage of mobile technology in the workplace instead of switching it off. You can use your mobile phone as an intercom system, which is free of cost. This can be achieved by creating a Close User Group (CUG). Additionally, you can benefit from advanced communication features.

Dear Neha,
Please consult your mobile service provider, and they will help you. In a Closed User Group (CUG), calls from CUG to CUG are free (within the circle).
We have Vodafone CUG, while Reliance offers Airtel CUG. You can opt for your company's CUG, or there is also a provision for friends and family CUG plans. Just call the Marketing Head of your service provider, and he will explain it to you in detail.
Hope this information suffices.

Dear Zakir,
I understand your query from two different angles:
1) Can I switch off my official mobile during office hours, or
2) How can I ask my subordinates to switch off their personal mobiles during office hours?
If your query is No. 1, my answer will be no. You cannot switch off your official mobile during office hours unless an exceptional situation arises.
If your query is No. 2, you can circulate the office policy regarding the use of personal mobile phones inside the office and ask your subordinates to switch off their personal mobiles.
If you have a different query, please feel free to revert.
Thanks!
