Pearson Vue | Revoked Exam | Using of Mobile Phones | EXAM PROCTORED BEFORE I GIVE FURTHER EXPLANATION

I was taking my PL-400 exam at 8.30 AM and it goes smoothly for a couple minutes. But then my phone keep buzzing due to work group chat messages. I was trying to silenced and moving it away and throw it as far aside. Then the proctor ask it I'm done working on the exam because they detect me using my cell phone. I reply not yet I'm moving away my cell phone by speaking and texting at the chat box. A minute later they revoked my exam without I able to explain clearly. It's a bad online test experience, I was preparing this exam a whole month to be able to pass and need it asap for my graduation requirements.
