Re: Wireless Panic Button that dials to mobile numbers?

["mikey" <loismustdie@xxxxxxxx>]

There are 2 or 3 systems that come to mind that do this:
One was made by Ameriphone. It was discontinued this year.
There are too many things that can go wrong dialing cell phones.
Good wireless is supervised, who gets the signal? who acts on it?

How close is nearest relative? Across the street? I can get a wireless
signal there if that helps but I'd install a monitored dialer there too
if I was you.

I use THE best wireless on the market (because I like to sleep nights)
If you're in North America, I can help. jollytt@xxxxxxxxxxxx
I'll show you the cheap stuff too as long as you are aware of weaknesses.
