Abstract

Existing international research on cellphone ethics was thematically reviewed with a focus on empirical observation. Additionally, cross cultural mobile telephony was explored, as well as philosophical ethics, including consequentialist, dentological and normative perspectives as a conceptual backdrop. This major ethical evaluation of cellphone communication was guided by Stahl, Heersmink, Flick, van den Hoven, Wakunuma, Ikonen and Rader's (2010) framework, which assists in the ethical analysis of communication technology. The current scientific knowledge, regarding mobile communication ethics is discussed and includes, interpersonal communication, cellphones and public acoustical environments, spousal communication, organizational communication contexts, inter-group dimensions and M-health ethics.
