Precisely.
You always want your first impression to be a good one, so I'd wait it out until she's finished on the phone but ensuring you're not loitering or coming off creepy - So I too would engage the friends first if its possible.
Personally, if it was me on the phone and a HB interrupted me, I've got to say I wouldn't be that impressed by the interruption no matter what her intentions were and would find it inconsiderate.
I know this wasn't asked, but if she's just sending a text to somebody, it should be ok to interupt her.
