“Keep your phone OFF.”

Then what’s the point? It’s important for emergencies; that’s why my family and I have them.

I am amazed that people shop, email, and do their banking via cellular. Seems like that’s asking for trouble. Maybe they get lucky. I hope so.

Well, I can turn my phone on in the time it takes to dial a rotary phone :)
I’m not sure about Android but with an iphone you can get 911 without even dialing. (Emergency SOS.)
There are ways to make a 911 call with no signal, with no service. You can reach them with no phone at all if you have internet and a VoIP.
There’s always a tradeoff. If your priority is emergency assistance rather than privacy, that’s your call, npi.
