题目内容
To tell you the truth, I’m not interested in owing a cellular (网络) phone…except for use in an emergency (紧急情况), for ordinary cellular phone service is very expensive. How would I get help if I were in trouble or in danger? A good friend told about a product she thought would settle my problem. It’s the SOS phone—a cellular phone service designed for emergency use.With the touch of a button the SOS phone will connect me to a roadside emergency service, a 911 service or a trained service SOS operator, 24 hours a day. If I ever need help, I know it’s just a phone call away.
By pressing the “Two” button, I’ll be connected with my emergency roadside service provider (提供者), or if I don’t have one, the SOS operator can suggest one to me and get in touch with them immediately.
The “911” button will connect me to 911 emergency service in my area—best of all, the call is completely free!
If I just want to call home to tell my husband and children something necessary, I can. By pressing the “Call” button, I’ll reach an operator. When I asked the operator to call home, I’ll be connected automatically(自动地). And because the Call Center has my10 most—used phone numbers, I don’t even have to recite the number.
Unlike ordinary cellular phone plans, the SOS phone doesn’t have any minimum usage requirements(最低底价) or other promises that could change the price I expect to pay each month.
