To save £55 take the battery and sim card out or carry around in a metal cash box. Don't expect too many interuptions.
In which case just pop the battery. simple.

How old is your phone? This has been going on for years. Hell, even cars have phones installed to allow you to contact emergency services. See Die Hard 4. No not the bit about the F35 going under the bridge. The bit where they steal a car.
Cell phones in cars have been standard emergency features in US cars for more than ten years
