I had two separate meetings with migration agents here in Adelaide as I am trying to find a viable way for Carla and I to move to Australia. Anyways, BOTH of them kept answering their phones and cell phones during the meeting. Even though I was paying for their time!
I guess the business etiquette on answering phones is a bit different here. I did not let it bother me, but made a mental note not to bother turning off my cell phone in the future. :-)
Another lesson from today is, PAY to get good advice. You can only learn so much from free resources. You have to pay to get the real story. Also, talk to several people, as advice givers are not all the same. Don't go for the cheapest adviser! You would not go for the cheapest heart surgeon. At least I hope you would not. :-)

I disagree with your new policy following the advisors' shoddy cell phone etiquette ("[I] made a mental note not to bother turning off my cell phone in the future.") Choosing to shut off (or set to 'vibe') a cell phone during an important conversation is a sign of respect for what is being said.
