Again, always let your host know beforehand if you absolutely need to check our phone during a meal.
However, it might be tempting to call someone back during an opportune break from a group setting.
Instead, avoid checking your phone if possible until after any social event so as to not be tempted.
If its absolutely necessary, excuse yourself and go outside for a quick call.
Keep your phone on silent, and act as respectfully as possible in the case your phone does ring.
Avoid speaking lengthily over the phone on cardio machines or strength-training machines.
If you have to wonder, just leave the phone on silent!
