An emergency phone with a 15 year shelf life.
Here' a cell phone that can work when your normal one doesn't! It's called the Spare One Emergency Phone. What do you do when you break down in your car and your phone is out of power. Just power up your Spare One phone. This emergency phone runs on 1 AA battery. It comes with an Energizer Ultimate Lithium battery, which can hold its charge unused for up to 15 years. But it can also use any standard AA battery. Just insert your SIM card & you can have up to 10 hours of talk time. The phone will make emergency 911 calls without a SIM card, but that's all it will be able to do - but that alone can be a life saver! For calling other numbers you’ll need a SIM card to put into the Spare One phone. You can use your own SIM card or purchase one from any GSM network carrier, like T-Mobile or AT&T. The phone’s design is super simple. An emergency number can be programmed into the center button. If you need to call that number, just hold the red button for 2 seconds to call. You can also add 9 speed dial numbers for emergencies. And finally, there’s one other safety gadget built in – a small LED flashlight that can stay on for as long as 24 hours with the single AA battery. It ships in a waterproof pouch and you can operate the phone while it's in the pouch, great for use in storms. $99.99, but selling for $10 less on the company website right now. (Nov. 13, 2012)

It's here on Amazon, but it may not ship with the new waterproof pouch. However it's $57, not $89.99 as on the manufacturer's website: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008B291SQ/?tag=twnene-20
