Shouting.
Very, very loud shouting.
It's the technique still used by all callers on trains...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

could you be more precise and use the decibel levels of your shouting?
|
|
|
|

Just turn it up to eleven

If I needed a cell phone, I would have one; I have no need for alternatives.

what about a land line phone ? or email ? or other non-cellphone communication ?
I'd rather be phishing!

I would not call a landline phone nor email an alternative to a cell phone as they do not offer remote communication, and also came well before cell phones, so a cell phone is an alternative to those. If someone wants to speak to me, they can call my office phone, or my home phone; if I am not there, then they can leave a message.
I just can't see paying $60/month so that other people can interrupt me in the middle of whatever I am doing. When I had a smart phone, I found myself wasting a lot of time surfing the web, and the slowness was just so annoying that it always put me in a bad mood. The only reason I bought it in the first place was because I was developing Android apps.
When I am on vacation and travelling around the country (the U.S.A. by SUV - see Overlanding), I have a vhf/uhf amateur service radio and a gps locator device (Spot). These devices allow for emergency communication.

I don't carry a phone. Things can wait until I'm in the vicinity of my other usual communication devices.
I tell people if there's an actual emergency, they should call 911, not me. I'm neither a doctor, police officer or fireman, and these people are all more suited to deal with emergencies than I am as they have the proper equipment and training.

According to the ads I need a cellphone so that anybody can contact me at any time wherever I am or whatever I'm doing. A more precise explanation of why I don't and won't have one does not exist!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

How bad was that?
Well, you've just made a vegetarian fantasize about the aroma of marinaded Ewok on a grill.

So close - I don't eat Ewoks, I think they're just a little Chewie.
