Let's get one thing straight: NSW doesn't hand out demerit points specifically for 'mobile phone' use. Instead, if you're caught using a mobile phone while driving, you're slapped with 5 demerit points and a hefty fine. This includes texting, calling without hands-free, or even fiddling with your phone for a quick scroll. The law is crystal clear because phones are a distraction that no one can afford behind the wheel.
So if you enjoy your phone more than your licence, be prepared for the consequences. Check the official NSW Roads and Maritime Services site or ServiceCentral for the latest fines and rules — ignorance won't save you.
