mobile phone for essential communication (e.g., medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular networks or when certain
network services or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local
service provider for details.
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a hands-
