I don't get, this info is useless. You can only dial '911' or '122' which are the standard emergency numbers.

Somebody should screnshot it if they can actually edit it to allow other numbers.

I've been seeing these useless msg circulating on whatsapp for months now
Feel same.Not working

For Samsung users, go to contacts, click on group and u will see ICE contacts. Save ur contacts under the group. The return bk to emergency call after u must have locked ur phone and try dialing the number.. It will go this time around.

Western Nigeria should have Amotekun hotline attached as their emergency numbers. Since they don't have faith in Nigeria's armed forces.

Vital Information That Will Definitely Save Lives

VERY VITAL INFORMATION

We the youths of today are fond of putting password/patterns on our phones which makes it difficult for someone to access it in case of unfortunate situations like phone loss, sickness, accident or even death. But with these few knowledge I'm going to share, perhaps we can save ourselves and the lives of others also.

STEP 1

When your phone is locked, it normally shows enter password, under it you will see emergency. Click on the emergency, then you will see emergency information. Click on the emergency information (2 times). You will see a pencil icon on your extreme right, click on it to edit.

STEP 2

Then enter the contacts you want to save as emergency. You can put as many contacts as possible but I advice you save numbers of active people who know you very well (Family/friend).

Now these contacts you have saved can be called even when your phone is locked without entering your password.

NOTE:

To call a number under emergency, you must repeat the process above.

A soul can be saved through this.

FEEL FREE TO SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

Thank you for this.
I'm happy that Nairaland has been approving educative posts since the days of Amotekun.... Not those posts like: blah blah blah step out for icecream with her daughter and baby mama.

Also try to place pass codes on your SIMS, so as to block anyone trying to use your line to get vital info about you
eg. getting or changing your Bank Details,Spamming your Saved contacts, Hacking your online acc (does linked to your line for verification)
there was a woman that was hit down by a hit and run driver, we took her to the hospital unconscious and the only we could get to her family was by putting her Sim card on another phone. Imagine her sim being on passcode

Funny how people have been using android for this long and they don't know this, I doubt there's no functions on Android that I've not explored.

The number you're adding should be someone that can handle emergency situations (not necessarily your spouse or immediate family). You won't want to create another emergency with the one on ground.

You're making a perfect sense!

It's always the first thing I set whenever I get a new phone

It contains my address, blood group (Incase of emergency blood transfusion), allergies, and some other information, then some phone numbers that can be called without opening the phone lock
