Yesterday, a friend of mine was involved in a pretty serious motorcycle accident that I didn't find out about until this morning. He had been knocked unconcious (He was wearing a full-face helmet which saved his life). When police and paramedics showed up, they attended to him while one of them got his cellphone and looked for I C E (In Case of Emergency). They were able to immediately contact his wife for a list of medications he was on as well as to tell them of any health related issues he has.
I have I C E (name of contact) on mine in case something happens, they know who should be answering the phone.
It takes 30 seconds and may save your life. Just lookin out for my FReeper friends.
Sounds pretty smart, but how do you do it, enter ICE as a contact?
phone book, new entry, I (space) C (space) E (space) (name of contact), then enter the contacts phone number and save.
I've always stuck a tiny phone number list in the holster.
Thank you very much. I’m sitting here with my cellphone and following your instructions.
Thanks.
excellent advice! we have an I C E entry on all of our cel phones too.
bahbah, when you select who you want contacted in case of
an emergency, you just enter ICE before their name when
you enter that contact. our kids have ICEmom as me :)
in my cell phones memory it has mom, dad, husband, etc... as contacts to call. All a police man has to do is scroll the phone and the names and numbers are right there and all you have to do is push the select button and it calls them.
We both have On Star in our cars as well and they have all the contact information for both of us should they need to call one of us(my husband and I).
Alpha characters are hard to key in. Took me awhile, but I learned. Good luck.
You seem too nice to be an ice mom :)
I'll have her reciprocate today.
ICE wife
ICE1 local family member
ICE2 parish priest
I’m an ICE ICE BABY.
good deal..you may never need them, then again, you just might..
This is good information for all to pay attention to.
The first responder services do look for “ICE” on people’s cell phones to save time - many people’s first contact do not share last names, area code proximity, etc.
Having several improves the chance of a quick response.
I read something a while back on other features of cell phones that are not commonly known. Such as being able to open your car doors if the keys are locked inside and also accessing emergency battery power. Pretty neat stuff.
When we find cell phones lost at our stores i scroll through the phone book and contact a relative to let them know whomevers phone this is it is lost.
Also, something I use is a number and them a name so that when the phonebook button is pushed it defaults to the first number. example 1a would be my wifes cell phone so that all I do it hit phone book and then send. Kind alike a hot key.
thank you, but the kids would surely disagree with you
on some occasions ;)
when he was about 3 yrs, our oldset (now 18) told me i
was “the meanest mommy in the neighborhood”. i thanked
him for the compliment. ;)
