> you don't have anybody in your life you want to be able to get through to you ASAP? They can call, can't they? My phone does ring (usually ;-) My kids don't even have a data plan, so most of the time they are unable to use messaging apps (WhatsApp, etc.) They are also forbidden to use a phone in school (in fact they're forbidden to have a phone, but alas everyone ignores this). What good this urgency would do anyway, when I'm not around? I'm not god. If something bad happens and I'm ten miles away (or a hundred!) anyone trying to call me will get more help from someone near.
