Answer 1

Why cell phones can help out in emergencies and keep you safe: * You can carry a cell phone around at all times (click it on your belt) put it in your pocket or (the slim ones) stick it in your bra.

More sexual attacks are recorded (or covered up) in these areas and the victim is attacked with a high percentage they know the person. * When walk anywhere alone at night or even taking a bus to get to and from you can call for help if you are being stalked, threatened or someone is trying to mug you. * If you are held hostage anywhere and the perpitrator doesn't realize you have a cell phone this can help to direct the authorities to where you are. * Children have ready access as does the parent to keep track of each other for safetys sake. The parent may be late picking them up or the child may want to visit a friend. * Going hiking? Often if your cell phone is a good one (long range) take a cell phone along while hiking can save your life. My girlfriends son decided to bike his way down from Vancouver, B.C., to Mississippi and took a cell. He kept in contact. * Car accident? If one should be in a car accident and their car has rolled down an embankment they can call on their cell for help. Also if there is a car accident and one witnesses it they can call an ambulance and the police. * Your car breaks down where there is no available help. There are many good reasons to keep a cell phone close to oneself. Cell phones can save lives! you can get a prepayed cell phone which does not require you to give your real full name or a credit/debit card to activate it

Essentially, a cell phone user can use the speed dial to immediately contact people in times of emergency. So it is important for a person to place the numbers of people that can be relied on in times of crisis in the speed dial of his phone.

However, for more vulnerable people such as kids, disabled, and elderly, a cell phone with an emergency response system is more capable to secure their safety.
