Actually that is not true. Mrs. Figg makes it very clear she has no 
way to contact the order without the aid of other, magical people. 
She keeps ranting about Mundungus disappearing when she needs him to 
apparate to Dumbledore and tell him what's going on, and almost as 
soon as he appears, she sends him on his way there. Once they are at 
the Dursleys' door, she tells Harry she is going home to wait for 
instructions. To me this indicates that she has no way to initiate 
contact, but that wizards can contact her.
