When it comes to cellular phones, we often look at how many features it has or how high-tech the phone is. We check how big the memory capacity is and how many megapixels the camera has. Is it wi-fi capable? Can I connect to the internet easily?

However, the basic thing that we really need to look for in a phone is how we can contact people who matter — especially during emergency situations. What use will be the phone’s myriad of functions if it’s not capable to send out a distress message when we are in dire need?

The Personal Emergency Response System

Just5 cellular phones have made this a lot easier with their Personal Emergency Response System. With this function, you can easily notify people when you are in need of urgent help. With a single press of a button, it allows you to contact up to 5 people who can help you in an emergency situation.

Just5's Personal Emergency System allows you to store up to 5 contacts and phone numbers that will be notified when the system is activated. You can select 911, family, relatives, friends and your doctor. Upon pressing the SOS button, your phone will automatically send an SMS message to these 5 people telling them that you are having an emergency and to pick up the phone. The phone will then dial these 5 numbers in order of priority until one of them answers the call.

Once the call is answered, it will automatically switch to speaker phone mode enabling you to talk to them and ask for help immediately. This is perfect if you are unable to lift the phone to your ear or if you have dropped the phone on the floor and can’t get it.
