... The other question is, as with cell phones, will it work in Europe ? Each country has it's own "chip", and they are mutually exclusive. ...
... I hope nobody ever brings one of those things into my house -- I'd be pretty upset if it went off!

This bit about one getting into trouble if not using common sense really irriates me. Does this mean that one should only walk in company of others? Does walking alone equate to not using common sense? Poor peregrina2000 or KinkyOne , and all others who enjoy the lesser travelled routes. I am a slow walker, on the Norte andPrimitivo I walked alone 95% of the time. Was I not using common sense? Noone walked at my pace, and I could hadly force them to. On the Roncesvalles route there is quite cliff on the right hand side and I was oncetold of a Japanese man who tumbled down. Assuming he was concious, I'm willing to bet he would have welcomed a loud device for others to hear he was in distress.The sales pitch writes about the alarm to "attract attention of others nearby". If one thinks about it, a danger on the Camino might happen when there aren't "others nearby". One doesn't need any of the mentioned gadgets when common sense and being alert at all times prevails.

And if there's a wierdo, he doesn't know there is noone for kms behind you; this sound may be enough to have him postpone his plans and let you walk on.
I see no downside at all, other than not being able to stay at Reb's.
