Who is Cell Phone Sally?
Cell Phone Sally is the newest member of the 9-1-1 family! She has been helpful in communicating issues regarding wireless phones and 9-1-1 to children ages 4 to 7.

How did she get her name?
In October 2002, the Commission on State Emergency Communication’s (CSEC) Public Education program held a contest to name the newest 9-1-1 character. Having had children participate in the creation of Red E. Fox, Texas schoolchildren were again involved in naming a new cell phone character. The contest was very successful and generated over 1,300 entries from children in pre-k through fifth grade. Once all entries were collected, a group of judges decided on the winning name, which needed to be easy to remember and represent the character clearly. On December 20, 2002, the judges named the new character Cell Phone Sally. She joins the forces of Buttons, Whirley, and Red E. Fox.
