Yep, that's pretty much it. All of these emergency systems rely on the cell phone network.

Another thing to consider is that if your battery gets disconnected for whatever reason, your SOL as well!

I may be wrong on this, but I think if you flip your car and your antenna gets knocked of the roof and you end up upside down, I don't think this system works either!

There is only so much these systems can do...
