1. A communication system for a vehicle for communication of a vehicle with an infrastructure facility, the communication system comprising:
- a control unit for controlling the communication; and
a communication unit for conveying data from the vehicle to the infrastructure facility and for receiving data from the infrastructure facility,wherein the control unit is configured to;
send an inquiry to the infrastructure facility in response to detecting an automatically triggered event at the vehicle, the inquiry indicating a request for establishment of a communication voice connection between the vehicle and the infrastructure facility,receive a response from the infrastructure facility offering to establish the communication voice connection,reject the establishment of the communication voice connection when the response sent by the infrastructure facility does not meet a required criterion, andaccept establishment of the communication voice connection when the response sent by the infrastructure facility meets the required criterion,wherein the required criterion is met when the infrastructure facility is registered in a corresponding list of the communication system.
