Emergency wireless safety tip: keep an 'in case of emergency' (I.C.E) contact in your cell phone

Do you have "I.C.E." in your Mobile Phone?

It could save your life!

"I.C.E." stands for "In Case of Emergency." Paramedics around the world have been trained to look through the address books in wireless phones under "I.C.E." for an emergency contact information. Entering an ICE contact into your cellular phone is a good idea in the event you are rendered unconscious in an accident.

So put an I.C.E contact in your phone

Rumors that there are "ICE" viruses that can infect your phone are not true.

Phone emergency could be

On April 5th, 2009 FabianI. says:

Phone emergency could be very handy especially when your on the road 100 miles away in the freeway. Do you have an urgent situation that needs to be dealt with immediately? An ill child is an urgent situation, so would be a boiling over radiator. There are a lot of different financial emergencies that can present themselves, and if you come up a bit short or you have bills that you won't be able to pay as a result, you could look into payday loans. Payday loans are short term, small amount loans that you take out and pay back quickly, usually your next payday. If you need a financial solution to an urgent situation, then payday loans could be what you are looking for.

That is a very good idea .
