They also have these little devices that senior citizens can wear around their necks, but all they complete is summon emergency services and also the monthly cost is way higher than the price tag on a cell phone. It's typically the older generation which keep their land facial lines anyway, so if you know a senior citizen that could be at risk, try to persuade them to get a cell phone instead, the cost may even be less.
