I have often wondered what would happen if I had an emergency out here in the middle of the corn field. If I dial 911 from my cell I must be able to communicate my address to them. I do not have a land line either. My speech has improved now to where I can usually get through to the person on the other end. but of course in a choking situation that may not be true.
I understand that you must have a land line for any of those medical alert systems also. I just hope that I never have to find out.
