Does anyone <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>memorize phone numbers anymore \u2013 or memorize much of anything, for that matter? By looking up a contact or doing a quick internet search about nearly anything, we have instant access to information thanks to the power of smartphones. These pocket computers are capable of doing so much that, really, we take it for granted on a daily basis. Still, in light of this technological convenience, what would you do if you wanted to look up a phone number on the internet, but couldn\u2019t due to a poor cell signal? <\/span><\/p>\n

Your Nashville Commercial Locksmith Is Here When You Need Us The Most<\/span><\/h2>\n

This brings in the notion of saving important phone numbers in your smartphone\u2019s contacts application. Again, these days, it\u2019s hardly expected for anyone to have phone numbers memorized, even the numbers of close friends and family, let alone important businesses or coworkers. If you find yourself in a freak situation where you\u2019re suddenly locked out of your apartment or your car, wouldn\u2019t it be nice to have your local locksmith\u2019s number on deck when you need it the most? No one plans on calling their 24-hour locksmith, but hey, stuff happens. <\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s blog post, we\u2019re going to go over some important contacts that you should probably have saved in your phone. From your own mother to your cranky boss, read more below from your Nashville commercial locksmith. If you have any questions about our <\/span>locksmith services<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>changing locks and keys<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>get in touch<\/span><\/a> with ABC Lock & Key today!<\/span><\/p>\n

Your ICE Contact(s) <\/span><\/h2>\n

No, we don\u2019t mean your local supplier of ice for all of your favorite chilled beverages, but your \u201cin case of emergency\u201d contact(s). Whether your ICE contact is your mom, dad, other family member or legal guardian, make it easy for emergency responders to find your family contacts when they need to. We hope that a situation never arises where an emergency contact is needed, but unexpected mishaps occur all of the time, so it\u2019s best to be prepared. <\/span><\/p>\n

To take things a step farther, open up a note-taking app on your smartphone. Write down the name and number of your emergency contacts, and then screenshot that note, using it as your lock screen. That way, if your phone is locked and you\u2019re unable to unlock it for some reason, emergency responders still have access to this important information. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your Local Police Department<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not all reasons to contact the police involve the severity of a 911 call. For non-emergency purposes, having your local police department\u2019s non-emergency number saved in your phone is a smart move. That way, you won\u2019t need to search for it online. We\u2019d hardly expect anyone to have the non-emergency number memorized, but let\u2019s be real \u2013 \u201c911\u201d is a pretty easy number to memorize. <\/span><\/p>\n

Poison Control<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sometimes, the unimaginable or unexpected occurs, and suddenly, you\u2019re staring in disbelief at your six-year-old cousin who just ingested a gallon of Clorox. Seriously, though, having your local poison control center\u2019s number could actually prove to be very valuable \u2013 did you know that every 13 seconds, the U.S. Poison Centers receive a call about someone being exposed to a poisonous substance? Yikes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your Next Door and Nearby Neighbors<\/span><\/h2>\n

Who could be any closer to you and your home than your next door neighbors? If you don\u2019t know them (or just think they\u2019re downright strange), get to know them, because they might very well save your life or just be of assistance when you need them the most. Plus, you\u2019ll be able to give them some fair warning when you\u2019re coming over to borrow some sugar. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your Coworkers<\/span><\/h2>\n

Feeling under the weather, or just looking for someone to cover your shift? Without your coworkers\u2019 contact information, there\u2019s no way to get in touch with them. There\u2019s nothing that says you\u2019re obligated to hang out with them and attend their weekly post-work bar hangouts, but being able to get in contact with them is a smart idea. <\/span><\/p>\n
