Speaking of cell phones..

By law (or maybe design) all phones have to be able to connect to 911 even if they don't have a service plan with them. Women's shelters usually collect them and give them to women in case the batterers come back. (presumably they could sign up for service with them too, but really is the free 911 calls).
Of course, you need to give them the battery charger too.

Batterers that live with their victims also LOVE caller ID, because it allows the batterer to have more knowledge about who the victim is talking to. If the victim has a cell phone that the batter doesn't know about, it's a lot easier for the victim to take calls from people that the batterer wouldn't want the victim talking to, like the shelter or a support network.
