As a mobile unit approaches a communication dead zone, a call is
automatically disconnected in an orderly fashion. The call can be
automatically reconnected when the mobile unit exits the communication
dead zone. As part of the orderly disconnection, parties to the call are
given an audible and/or visual message and/or sensual tactile stimulus
letting them know that a dead zone is being approached. The message can
also indicate the time before entering the dead zone, and/or what actions
will be taken. Similarly, when the mobile unit is about to exit the dead
zone, the parties can be given an indication prior to being reconnected.
