Simply trying to switch the phone off does not amount to using it. You should be able to show that you were not actually making or receiving a call if we can get your phone records.
If you dont accept the offence then you need to reject the ticket and ask for a court hearing. If you lose at court you will get higher fines and court costs.
Come back to me if you would like me to try and defend you.
