Abstract
A communications device () enabled to support both external voice communications functionality () (or other external communications of interest and choice) and other functionality () has at least a first and second mode of operation (and). The first mode of operation permits essentially all functionality while the second mode of operation precludes at least much of the other functionality in favor of preserving the viability of at least some of the external communications functionality. A selector () can select a given mode of operation based, at least in part, on a triggercomprising, for example, a user input and/or detection of a condition of concern.
