It seems that almost everyone has a cell phone these days. However, if you are one of the few that has a single case of emergency, you can save money by eliminating your cell phone plan. A little known fact is that you can call 911 from your cell phone, even if you do not have a contract or a minute.

 

Any phone will do work, so you need not spend much money for one. In fact, you can probably have a cast-off of a friend or family member. Just be sure to keep the battery charged. This is a great opportunity to ensure the safety of elderly parents or young families.
