I have a flip phone (pay-go) that I keep for emergency use. I don't usually turn it on and don't give the number out.
But if I was in a real emergency and had to use somebody else's smart phone? I would not be able to make a call, or even find the phone function I don't think.

The time lady is gone, and at least in Washington DC we had the weather line. Here in Lansing we used to have Dial-a-prayer, and I gave that number out to anyone I did not want to hear from.Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.Comment

Seems the Edit function got lost?
I kind of depend on that. A time limit of 48 hours would be fine.
