Can you rely on your cell phone when you want to
make an emergency call?
In these days, when cell phones seem to be a ubiquitous
gadget that just about everybody has, with mobile service
providers offering attractive incentives like free long
distance, the more conventional long distance calling options
would seem to have become relegated to the past. However,
as everybody is well aware, there are several drawbacks
to cell phones, such as losing the service, or calls being
interrupted in the middle of an important conversation.
What if this happens during an emergency?
People end up paying an arm and leg for exceeding the minutes
they sign up for. So, it’s always better to ensure
that you buy ample minutes to cover for your usage. If you
are using a prepaid service, it is important not to overestimate
the minutes you buy, because prepaid minutes are quite expensive,
and expire whether they are used or not. If your pattern
for usage varies each month, opt for a plan that will let
you rollover the excess minutes.
Some cell phones come without the E-911 capability, thus
your location is not revealed to emergency personnel, which
can be crucial in a critical situation. So, you need to
make sure to find out from your carrier what they offer.
If your cell phone does have E-911, you need to program
the local emergency number into it in order to get aid faster.
Even though cell phones are common thing in every household,
one cannot ignore the fact that they are not foolproof.
As mentioned above, there are chances of the reception fading
or calls being dropped. When it comes to emergencies, people
should always opt for services and devices that are 100
percent reliable.
