Many people use I.C.E., the truth is, when it is life or death, an ambulance or hospital employee isnt going to stop and figure out how to work your phone. They are going to try to save your life.

While using a I.C.E. contact is fine, I think you are better off putting the same info on a card in your wallet or purse. The EMS people or Law Enforcement will check same for personal info in case of an accident. Plus if no-one is home than what????
We had a recent case of a snowmobiler needing help out on the bay and EMS was able to get there a lot faster becasue our local area had Enhanced 911 and they were able to pinpoint the callers location. Our local Cell provider has been compliant longer that the local 911 system.
ATTITUDE: It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

E-911 is very popular, but also expensive... Yes, do keep a wallet and/or card with info on it for EMS, FIRE, RESCUE, and POLICE. I.C.E. may be checked every one out of 100 calls that they go on... be realistic. they will glance at a wallet before they learn to work your phone  I can go on forever on this topic, and I will win... I.C.E. was a good idea, but not realistic.

Ok............. let me say something I just learned..... even if your cell phone is off (powered down) it still sends a signal to your local tower.... and then of course you can now find out where the cell phone is. The only way to totaly disable a cell phone is to pull out the battery........

That is true with some phones walterv, But not all. It all depends on the network, the "cross-talk" that the network uses to communicate with the towers, and etc.
