Not a bad idea but it's not always a good idea to keep your personal details in such a device - in case some thieving git pinches it!

but then no different than having entry calle mum or dad...

 

everybody has got details in it due to nature of product..

My fone has details like "Wife" prefixed by a space to put it at the top of my address book for the very purpose - I lost it in a holiday complex once and they phoned my folks 500 miles away who called my wife who told me...

lets put it like this anything that would make life easier on my better half if was caught up in something like that i think is worth it.

When mobile phones were still quite expensive and mainly business tools I came home from visiting Coventry, around 40 miles away. My son asked me if I had my phone and I suddenly recollected putting it on my car roof whilst I looked at some paperwork. He then handed me my phone. A guy had found it, called "HOME" spoke to my son and dropped it off.

The only problem is that my phones (and SIM cards) are security locked and you can't get into them anyway without a certain amount of knowledge, and this tends to be beyond your run of the mill beat-bobby. I have even seen one (at an accident) ask a nearby school boy how to get into a phone to get contact details!

Well at least he knew his limitations and where to get the "expert" advice he needed
