However, this will only work if you don't have a password on your phone to get to the contact list, otherwise there will be no way for them to get into the phone to see the information.RoyGBiv wrote:Also...Symtex wrote:Thanks.
I got the idea when I used to ride motorcycles. I had a bright orange laminated card attached to my jacket zipper that had a lot of info on it. If you get into accident or emergency situation they will always look for the ID.
In your mobile phone, set up a contact called "ICE - XXXXX" (where XXXXX = the name of your In Case of Emergency contact)...
There are many smartphone applications that hold emergency/contact/medical data, etc...
Here's just one... http://www.androlib.com/android.applica ... -jqpz.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
On my Blackberry and my wife's, which are always locked and encrypted because they have company data on them, I used the "Owner Information" option to put ICE info on the main screen. I set mine up as:
ICE: wife's name
wife's phone number
and her phone with my info. Emergency responders can see that data without unlocking the phone because it's only displayed on the screen when the phones are locked. PM me if you would like assistance with this.
