Why you should designate important numbers in your cellphone

Have you designated Important Numbers in Your Cellphone?

Here are a few great ways to let people know which numbers in your cellphone are the ones that should be called if you are in an emergency (such as a car accident, hurricane, etc.) or if you lose your phone! I recently found a cellphone that had labels like this and she had her phone back the next day!

Label entries in ways that make it clear what the important #'s are. Include entries such as:

HOME 
HUSBAND or WIFE
MOM and DAD
SISTER / BROTHER (Insert Name Here)
MY WORK
HUSBAND JOB
MY BOSS
MY DOCTOR (Insert Name Here)

Let me know if you have others you use!

Great labels! I have "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) in front of my husband's name. Looks like this: ICE - Name
I will use these labels too!

ICE is actually a National movement that is being promoted on radio for people to input this notation in cell phones as emergency workers will begin looking for this notation of ICE before anything else to contact an incompacitated person's emergency contact.

There has also been discussion of creating a sticker, similar to an oil change reminder, for the upper left inside of a vehicle's windshield.
