Abstract
A system and method to automatically modify the functionality of telephones when they are located in particular environments. Located in each such environment is a low power radio transmitter with limited range. When the telephone detects a signal from the low power transmitter, the telephone changes its mode of operation such as by turning off a speaker or a ring signal capability or a normal display capability or a normal key input capability. The environment may be within a vehicle.
