Ice, Ice, Baby

Here's another one from Day Tipper. Actually, I heard about this on the Internet, the news, from friends, from radio, and I'm sure the little kids on the corner selling lemonade last summer as well, but Day Tipper offers this reminder about adding ICE (In Case of Emergency) to your phone.

Simple and effective, and something that is apparently not an urban myth from the Internet - mark one for the good guys! And you know what? Even if someone thinks it is a myth, enough people know about it that it might work anyway...

Basically, you put an entry in your cell phone with the name "ICE" (maybe followed by the person's real name) and then put in their phone numbers as well. Now this ICEy person is not just anyone, it's someone that if you're injured or otherwise incapacitated, you'd want Emergency Services to contact. If they can find your cell phone, they'll look for ICE first and contact them to let them know you're injured, etc. It doesn't cost anything and it just might come in handy...
