[Poll Results!] Do you set up emergency contact numbers on your phone?

A phone's primary use is to be in contact with people you care about, but what happens in cases of emergency? Well, most smartphones these days come with an option to set up emergency contact numbers so that your nearest people could be contacted during an emergency.

Samsung's smartphones let you set up a group named ‘ICE – Emergency Contacts' and one can reach these numbers right from the lock screen. This is particularly handy since anyone can call those numbers without a need to unlock the device. Do you use this feature? Let us know by casting your votes in the poll below.

Poll Results: According to the poll results, around 58 percent of voters set up emergency contact numbers on their phones, while 42 percent voters don't. We encourage you to make full use of this feature, especially if your phone has a security code on the lockscreen.
