One more follow-up to the infrequent cell phone user. Yes, 911 is just for emergencies.

But, * 55 will dial highway patrol. This also works on every cell phone, even if you do not have service with a cell phone company. This is universal in almost every area of the Country.

You can check with your local police to find out if *55 works in your area (or an area you might be driving through).
