Life-Saving Phones - Mobile Alerts (GALLERY)

According to an article on Forbes.com, cellphones have always functioned as a safety tool used in emergencies. “Between flashlights, heart monitors, global positioning data and text message warnings, it’s no exaggeration to say that cell phones can save lives,” Forbes says. Even though cellphones have evolved to become highly personal gadgets that allows us to listen to music, watch videos and take pictures, manufacturers are reminding us of their true purpose by adding new features designed to protect us from accidents and injury. Several phone makers, including Samsung and Asus, offer SOS functions that--with the push of a button--ping pre-set numbers with text messages that warn the sender is in danger. In late April, community action group Crime Stoppers launched a program that allows people to submit crime tips to police via text message. The application is designed to appeal to text-loving teens and folks who spot something suspicious, such as drug dealing, gang activity and hate crimes while on the go, says Crime Stoppers USA President Elaine Cloyd.
