Smile For Cell Phone Users

     
  

I was watching the news the other night and watched a report about the London bombings. They stated that many people had programmed into their cell phones the letters ICE (In Case of Emergency) by the name of someone who knows their health status. They said it helped save many lives because they could find out blood type and other important information by calling that person. So I thought I would share this with others here at Talk Disney. Some of you may already know this but I thought it was worth sharing because I had never thought about using my cell phone in that way. If it helps save a life then I think it is worth it.

Thats why I carry a "emergency contact" card with all that information on it in my wallet.

I mean if I walked up on someone in need of help and couldn't talk, I wouldn't pick up their cell phone and start looking through it. Would you?


But EMS would look into their wallet to know their name,address ect. Atleast thats how we were trained in the FD.

good idea, where I work we had our ID coded for the info. I have my ID on me almost all the time, but it wouldn't hurt to have that on my cell phone as well.

Thumbs up

Thank you for the info...

Here in Miami, Fl the news said last light to program your cell to ICE, for emergency contact.

Everyone you are welcome. I think if it helps just one person then it is worth it since so many people carry cell phones. Not everyone carries emergency info in their wallets or purses. Which is also a good idea.

Can i add that you need to put the 'I C E' in front of the name of your contact so that when ICE is typed into you keypad it will bring the name up first.
If you were to put it in after your contacts name it would mean flicking through the whole of your directory.

What a great way to let someone know who to contact if you're hurt. I am programming my phone and if ever in a situation where needed the first place I'll check is in the person's phone. Thanks Shelley!!!
