PanicPhone - Just push to call 911
DesignTech's Guardian 911 Phone, due in April, is a small wearable cordless handset (fits in the palm of the hand) that connects to a base station for the sole purpose of summoning 911 help with a push of the phone's single button.
It has a microphone so the user can talk with the operator.
Works just like a cordless phone, because that's what it is.
The range is said to be 800 feet - that's about 1/6 of a mile.
It's also waterproof, so you can wear it in the shower
after you've watched "Psycho."
No monthly fee.
List price is $139.95.
I think these are gonna be extremely popular when they go on sale in April, and not just with the targeted market of the elderly.
No more
"Sorry, wrong number," when it matters most.
