Glad you caved and got a basic no frills cellphone. As to being outside, that's maybe one place you should tote it. A elderly live-alone woman in a rural area went out to her shed, fell, and spent 3 whole days in the weather. Someone noticed her waving her arm and saved her. Maybe she needed Lifealert or a cell on her belt, I thought.
Scary.
