Abstract
A wireless handset includes a long range wireless transceiver for selectively providing an inbound communication and an outbound communication through a wireless telephone network. A battery monitor module monitors a remaining power of a battery and produces a control signal when the remaining power compares unfavorably to a reserve power threshold. A processing module allows an outbound communication to an allowed recipient when the control signal is asserted, and prohibits an outbound communication to a disallowed recipient when the control signal is asserted.
