I think that even if you get a cell phone and don't get service you can still make a 911 call. So if you don't want to buy a phone for a kit you might be able to get one from someone you know who as extras that are old and have no service plan. I know I have about four cell phones laying around from when I switched from cingular to verizon. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
