While reading Ed's story, it occurred to me that as a last resort,
even if one had a "dead" cell phone in their Vanagon, it might help.

Pretend to "dial" 911 and "talk" ?

The "pay as you go" option is great for an emergency phone. Especially
if provider lets you keep minutes for the entire year w/o having to
top up or even use the phone. As per Daves suggestion, I'd suggest
finding a provider that offers minute cards at 7-11 and the like.
