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.
