If it does get passed to the court and you recieve the forms, plead not guilty and enter in all the evidence such as the fact you have a bluetooth hands free kit, the itemised phone bill, and that they can contact your operator to find out if the phone was in use.
Also seek legal advice.
It could be that because you kicked up a fuss over the speeding ticket, this WPC has got wind of it, and spotted your number plate and took advantage (although that is a small posibility)

Top advice as ever.
But my main worry here would be the broader picture.
By proving that it does nothing to prove that the phone as far as they are concerned belonged to the driver.
They would dispute this proves nothing other than the person concerned not using their own phone at the time.
But if they have evidence against this then it will not help.
