Emergency Cellphone Numbers

[Grumpy]

I am changing Cellphone service and have to enter phone numbers in my new Cellphone. I have had several emergency numbers in my old Cellphone, which thankfully, I have never had to use. However, before I enter them in my new phone, I was just wondering what emergency numbers other people keep in their Cellphone, specifically for ON THE WATER EMERGENCIES? Where did you get the numbers? And, did you test them to make sure they work? In other words, what do you do for communications in case of an on the water emergency?

Thanks in advance for sharing,
Grumpy

I did not know this, but depending on how old your cellphone is, they can sometimes transfer the numbers to a smartchip to just put them into your new phone.

My phone was too old for that... but maybe yours won't be.

Good luck,

Danny

Thanks for the thought, Danny, but my phone was also too old to have a SIM card. Anyhow, I really would like to know what other people use for possible emergencies on the water (what numbers they have in their Cellphone).

If you fish the river around the dams you really should have the Lockmasters number. Also the local CO.

If you are fishing the Ohio and get stuck on some rocks, the news media can get to you pretty quick. LOL

Yep that sounds right. How new is this? This is the first i have heard of it. Great idea.

I usually keep a couple of the closest marina phone numbers on my cell phone.They have a good chance of getting to you the quickest in case of an emergency.
