Driving Safety Tips
Safety is the most important call you will ever make.
NOTE: For safety and legal reasons (in many countries), do not use
your phone while driving.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial
and redial. Carefully read your instruction manual and learn to take
advantage of valuable features most phones offer, including automatic

not moving or before pulling into traffic. Try to plan your calls before
you begin your trip or attempt to coincide your calls with times you may
be stopped at a stop sign, red light or otherwise stationary. But if you
