OK, if your character is making a 911 call, then yes, show the network logo on the phone:

calling 911

However, if your character is arming an explosive device via his cell phone, then no, do not show any branding:

device armed on the mobile phone

Lastly, if a mobile phone is being used to detonate explosives, take the whole faceplate off just to be sure we don’t imply that mobile phones can do anything bad:

improvised explosive device from 24 season 8

(Why oh why can’t I just enjoy some television like normal people do?)
