Male Female

I believe that it's fine to talk on the phone in public, provided that you do it respectfully and at a reasonable volume. In places like parks and shopping centers, if you don't seem to bother or annoy others, it's okay to take a call. However, in other areas, such as public transport, cafes, or cinemas, where people might be trying to focus or relax, it's definitely better to step out of that area and look for a better place.
