are decided by the ruling bishop. So, some might allow electric devices, but others do not. It's not possible to say that what applies to one group applies to all.

I have been on a bus going out of town that had several Amish passengers. None of them had a cell phone but one guy needed to make a call to a Mennonite friend who would pick them up at their destination. I Ioaned him mine, but had to dial the number for him and end the call when he finished because he was not familiar enough with cells to operate one.
