No one wants to cheat. He just needs a way to call after the test.

My kid needs to be able to get in touch after the ACT and needs to have a phone with him in the testing center.

I know you cannot have any electronic devices out in the testing room. For Reasons (please believe) my kid needs to have a phone with him to use for after the test. Can they bring a turned-off phone inside a backpack if they don't take it out during the test or will the backpack be searched at the door as he believes? I am telling him he can have a phone in his bag if he leaves it untouched during the test, and he is saying they will search bags, kick him out of the testing center and not let him take the test.
TLDR Can you have a phone *with* you if it's never taken out at the ACT?
