Don't need credit to call 999.

Yes, I realise that Alan.
Let me sum up my usage strategy for my mobile (again)......
I only let my wife know my mobile number, so I don't get calls from anyone else, and my privacy is preserved.
I always have it switched on when I'm away from home, so that she can call me if she needs to.
I carry it with me at all times, so that I can call the emergency services in life threatening cases.
I also carry it so that I can contact professional assistance (via land lines) if I need to, such as the AA etc..
I have no qualms about keeping the number private from everyone else because I am now retired, so I have no professional responsibility to keep in touch whilst I am away from home.
