It is a bit of topic but I just have to share with you my experiance with a emergency call. and how important it is to
have such a thing on your phone.
in South africa if you dail 147 it is like a 911 call in your side of the pond just for Cell phones.

I was driving home one evening around 6:30 and got stuck in traffic.(I live about 20 miles from work) So the cars were hardly moving.
All of a sudden I just want to pass out .I suffer from high blood pressure so I think it must have been that because I went to the dentist earlier the afternoon and they had to give me 4 shots to numb my mouth. Those stuff is ultra high on adrenalin
so I recon it screwed with my BP.
Anyway. So there is nowhere to pull of the road as I was in the "fast lane" and there is road works on that section of the road. I did not want to call my wife because it would just make her worry so I pulled up my hand brake, put the car in nutral and called 147 (911).
Now I am busy drifting between consious and unconsiuos in the middle of the traffic and when the person on the other side answered I had a hard time consentrating to explain what is wrong. now here comes the issue :
I ended up with a call center 1000 miles away from where I was. All the stupid lady on the other side can say is "Please call 147 in your own area"
realy how the hell can I do that I mean 911 is 911 right?
Anway after about 2-3 minutes with her on the line I realise it is getting nowhere. I already started to feel a bit beter so
I called my wife so that at least if something happens she at least know where I am. I cept her on the phone untill I was feeling ok.

What a nighmare it was.
