1. A method of processing a voice communication on a mobile device, comprising:
- storing a plurality of volume profiles, at least one of the volume profiles defining a safe volume profile;
defining a plurality of mobile device operational modes;
associating at least one of the mobile device operational modes with the safe volume profile;
selecting one of the mobile device operational modes to obtain a first selected mobile device operational mode;
determining if the first selected mobile device operational mode is associated with the safe volume profile; and
upon determining that the first selected mobile device operational mode is associated with the safe volume profile, operating the mobile device in the first selected mobile device operational mode according to the safe volume profile.
