I don’t have that many friends that call me, so changing my voice message would be the last thing I’d do. Don’t know about other states, but our Search and Rescue doesn’t charge the injured/lost person. I’ve never tried it, but I’ve heard that you can get a hold of 911 without cell coverage or even a carrier — but I don’t know as factual.
For someone to go out by themselves, whether hiking, rock climbing, skiing, snowmobiling, etc., is asking for trouble. |
