A system and method for automatically answering incoming calls in a portable wireless communication device (22) that includes a cellular transceiver (32), a positioning unit (34), and a controller (30). The cellular transceiver (32) is capable of receiving an incoming call. The positioning unit (34) is capable of determining a first geographic position of the portable wireless communication device (22) at a first time and a second geographic position of the portable wireless communication device (22) at a second time where the first time and second time are separated by a predetermined time period. The controller (30) is programmed to determine a speed of the portable wireless communication device (22) from the first geographic position, the second geographic position, and the predetermined time period. The controller (30) is further programmed to automatically answer the incoming call when it is determined that the speed of the portable wireless communication device (22) is above a predetermined threshold. In one embodiment, the controller (30) is further programmed to operate the portable wireless communication device (22) in a speakerphone mode when it is determined that the speed of the portable wireless communication device (22) is above the predetermined threshold. In another embodiment, the controller (30) is further programmed to forward the incoming call to a vehicle transceiver within a vehicle when it is determined that the speed of the portable wireless communication device (22) is above the predetermined threshold.
