Can contestants assume everyone will be carrying a mobile phone? Should contestants be able to communicate with persons trapped somewhere? Should contestants be able to send SMS/text to a whitelist of discovered phones?

We will not ask competitors to communicate with trapped people or send SMS to the phones. This could be demonstrated by a team but is not required per Official Rules criteria.
