A communications interface device is wearable about a user's neck, and can have various audio communications devices&#x2014;such as cellphones, walkie-talkies, radios, scanners, digital music players, etc.&#x2014;connected to the interface device to serve as a central communications hub. An audio input microphone is provided on the device to pick up audio messages that the user wishes to deliver, with such messages then being directed to the appropriate connected communications device. Speakers, which preferably extend from the interface device via flexible leads, supply audio from one or more of the connected communications devices to the user's ears. A switch or other selector is provided on the interface device to allow user selection of the communications devices from which the user wishes to receive (and to which the user wishes to send) messages.

A compact signal light is provided with LEDs arrayed across its front face, and a magnet and/or suction cup on its rear face so that a user may readily mount it on a refrigerator door or the like. The front face of the signal light may bear the name and telephone number of a delivery or emergency service so that a user may resort to the signal light when making an emergency or delivery call. The user may then turn on the signal light so that its LEDs are illuminated (with one or more of the LEDs preferably flashing), and place the signal light on a door or window where the delivery or emergency service is to be rendered, so that the location is more easily found by the delivery or emergency personnel without 'hunting.' The signal light provides a particularly valuable tool for pizza delivery companies and the like because it serves as an advertising tool reminding the consumer of the company, as well as providing the company with a way to more quickly and efficiently render its delivery services.
