Possibly the most compelling Stargazer service is SAFETYLINK (80911)
SAFETYLINK (80911) was started in response to disasters such as 9/11.
Be Informed – Send a free public text message to 80911 to let people know you’re safe in an emergency. Then, anyone can go to Stargazer SafetyLink and enter your mobile phone number to read your message. Teach your children, and plan ahead with your friends and colleagues.
Check out Stargazer with your kids.
