While I always carry my phone anyway, I was caught up in the London tube/bus bombings & mobiles were useless as the lovely PTB turned off all the phone signals. Guess what worked perfectly for letting my family know I was ok & nobody else had thought to use? Good old BT pay phones. Do yourself a favour & stick a couple of quid loose change in your pocket. It can save a lot of panicking back at home & has multiple uses.
