Abstract
Systems and methods control operation of a mobile communication device in a vehicle by determining if the vehicle is moving; if the vehicle is stationary, allowing calls to reach a cell tower; if the vehicle is moving and the mobile communication device is used, disabling a transmission from the mobile communication device to the cell tower; and if the vehicle is moving and an emergency phone sequence is dialed, allowing the transmission from the mobile communication device to the cell tower.
