New Safety Alert via Mobile Phone 24/7 world wide

[trymyluck]

Didn't that lad die with his mobile phone beside him because phone reception was dead ? Save 1 ? How many will first with putting their life in the hands of a mobile phone first?

Who would be that stupid to put their life in the hands of a telco. Simply can not believe some of the comments made above.

The lad died after trying to convince the 000 operator that

1. He was lost.

2. He was genuine.

3. He was in serious trouble with no water.

4. That he needed help.

5. Until his phone went flat.

As to who would be that stupid to put their life in the hands of a telco, I was only wondering the other day just how many lives had been saved by the use of mobile phones.

What we do know from last week-end the count is -2 to 0

1. No lets not get feisty, life and death is much more important than that..it isn't really..it happens every day..nothing to panic over..it happens to everyone at some time..as the great Jim Morrison said..No one gets out alive.

2. My recommendation on this? This post should get the flick. Nope..leave it go

3. Then maybe not? maybe people do need to be aware of so called safety alert systems that are not up to or any where near acceptable standards does that include EPIRBS? and the so called sat system that is running out of puff or whatever as you have allude3d to previously

4. This system is certainly not acceptable by any standards

if it saves one life then it is worth it

I cannot believe that comment...how many lives do you think that calls to 000 have saved..all run through telcos.

"it isn't really..it happens every day..nothing to panic over..it happens to everyone at some time..as the great Jim Morrison said..No one gets out alive."

1. Then some have a hankering to make it sooner than latter.

"Nope..leave it go"

2. Yes definately agree with that. Users need to be aware of what is a novelty and what is not

"does that include EPIRBS? And the so called sat system that is running out of puff or whatever as you have allude3d to previously"

3. Epirbs have very clear and very rigid standards. Epirbs also do not rely on GPS, not even GPS Epirbs. As for "GPS running out of puff" that's nothing more than "what if" and the dream world of the GAO.

4. On the subject of telco's? Well they don't and haven't had a good reputation of late have they? It's not the number they might save it's the number they have lost and in that business loosing just one (1) through incompetence is one too many.
