That's more sensible. Modern Mobile Phone batteries are Lithium Ion and are definitely a fire hazard in the wrong circumstances, plus they won't want a Phone in a parcel ringing unexpectedly 
1.2 volts on a Ni-MH cell is about right for mid charge, depending on how accurate your meter is. Cell manufacturers often quote 0.9v as end of discharge 'cause it makes the capacity look better. However it's hardly worth the trouble as below 1.1 or so the voltage falls like a brick.
