- To learn how to enter a new contact into your mobile phone’s address book, please contact your mobile phone manufacturer or mobile service provider.
- When entering multiple ICE Contacts, put a number directly behind the word “ICE” in each one to prioritize them for the emergency responders. Example: ICE1 – Mom, ICE2 – Mary.
