I understand where you are coming from with this, but I thought about it. If she was approached by someone and needed to call for help, she would have to stop, get her phone out of her bag and then run to a safe place, unlock her phone and then call me. I think that she would be better off running to a house knocking on doors and yelling for help to get attention than she would have success with a cell phone.
I don't mind the cell phone so much, if it were one that was meant for emergency situations, but not an iphone.
