such as speed dial and redial.

Let the person you are speaking to know
you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions.

numbers while driving.
Tip:
If you really need to
use your phone
while you’re driving,
use a headset or
Speed Dialing.

operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
