"Cell phones have become an invaluable resource for most Americans, but the high cost of phones and service plans leave many without a cell phone to use in cases of emergency. Our goal is to ensure that no one is without a cell phone to use to call for help when they need it," says Tom Pace, President of American Cell Phone Drive.org.
