Apologies if this has already been covered, I did a search but couldn't find anything already posted.
You may already beaware of the ICE campaign to put a flag on contacts in your mobile phone to contact in an emergency. This is a scheme to enable you to send an emergency SMS message to the emergency services... http://www.emergencysms.org.uk/ or Google 999 sms. Sometimes a text message will get through where a phone call won't, very useful in the mountains where a signal can be dodgy at best or people with a hearing disability. This is a free service and recommended by Mountain Rescue and the Coastguard and in my opinion a life saver.

Interresting, but it does need you to register your phone & is only for those with hearing loss or who cannot speak according to the literature. More info HERE.
