You need to be off the road and parked where it is safe and lawful to do so. Not by stopping in a 'No Stopping' area or a turning lane to answer the bloody phone like you see some numb nuts doing.
There is no requirement to turn the engine off, otherwise vehicle occupants in the tropics would be sweltering after about 10 seconds. Park in a safe spot with the parking brake applied and you're good.
