At my school, you can take a phone call during an exam. You have to go outside of course, and I've never seen anyone actually do it, but it's acceptable. We have self-scheduled take-home exams and finals, too. I'm with the OP, I'd have run home--he can always reschedule the exam.
OP does not deserve it. Every school and exam is different - I use my phone as a calculator sometimes and I can see texts come in if they do. If my mom told me there was an emergency, I would GO because generally an emergency means there isn't TIME to text back "hurr durr explain plz?" Better to be safe than come home and find out someone is already gone or something.
You say every school exam is different but it is pretty much everywhere that it is unacceptable to have a phone on and out during an exam. Texting makes it even worse. Seriously, if you can't survive for 30 minutes or an hour or even more without checking text messages, you deserve to fail. I don't even have my phone on during class when there isn't a test. Real emergency=call 911.
The emergency is that your mother either had a light stroke, is suffering from dementia, or is in the early stages of Alzheimer.
YDI for leaving on your phone during the exam. You should've been kicked out. Also, YDI for skipping out on your exam. A midterm of all things is not something you want to screw up.
YDI for having a phone.
YDI. They say "no cellphones" for a reason, dumbass.

YDI for leaving your phone on during an exam
Firstly, how were you able to check your phone and get up and leave in the middle of your final? Secondly, YDI for skipping your final. I don't care what emergency is happening, if you're not there and you have to take the time to drive home, it can't be all that important. Why wouldn't your mom just call you or you think to respond with "what's wrong?". I'm calling fake.
