There's comfort in making call for help

Article Abstract:

The AA's Callsafe service is based on an inexpensive mobile phone linked to a control centre which can send help to a car driver in an emergency. The company also has a range of phones which can be pre-programmed to call for assistance from a number of different sources. A similar service is being offered by the RAC, which has recently made arrangements with Ford to give all purchasers of new Ford cars a free mobile phone with free connection to one of Ford's airtime tariffs.
