Why You Should Keep Your Mobile Nearby at All Times

Filed in archive News , Useful Info by Rico Mossesgeld on October 3, 2007

Yeah, the demands of constant connectivity may be too much nowadays, but smartphones and PDA phones are still communication devices, and they can literally be a life saver.

Just ask tanya Rider, an American who recently went missing last week when her car apparently went off the highway. After 8 days, rescuers were able to find her-by tracking the signals emanating from her cell phone.

So, keep your mobile or handheld juiced up and near you at all times. What's the point of spending a little money on a gadget when it's nowhere to be found when you actually need it?
