In any proceeding the defendant may waive the right to be present and request to participate by telephone. The defendant's waiver of the right to be physically present may be obtained orally on the record or in writing. The court may allow telephonic participation of one or more parties, witnesses, counsel or the judge at trial or any other proceeding unless good cause or due process requires otherwise. The responsibility for the cost of a telephonic hearing is governed by Administrative Rule 48(b).
