GPS SAFETY CELL PHONE

A company called Clayton Communications just came out with a GPS safety cell phone called ActiveONE.It is a very small GPS device with basic cell phone features and the ability to speed dial four people when you feel you're in danger.

Active ONE also has a center SOS button which will immediately connect to a US-based 24/7 personal assistance call center.They claim this is better than calling 911 since the personnel already knows who is calling and may already know what kind of assistance you may need-in addition to your location of course.

One other neat feature is to let other family members figure out your location by calling the same call center.


It is mostly designed for the elderly who may have Alzheimer's or some sort of dementia issues but there's no reason for others not to use it. If you're giving to a very young kid you better turn off the built-in fall detector though.
