Hi everyone,
Can somebody quickly remind me what the letters were for the emergency contact numbers to put on your moby in the wake of the terrorism?
I've done a quick search on here, but nothing came up..
Thanks all, Algol xx

DO NOT DO THIS. It was a hoax to enable viruses to be spread - this was advice from a senior fund raiser at Cancer Researh fund. This will hurt you more than it hurts me. Edited 29 Jul 05, 11:14 PM by rubyd | ||

oh bugger Ruby, now i'm confused! Sounded such a good idea too! Who first spread the news about this then? was it in the papers? (I don't buy a paper). Will have to try and look into it, but will not do owt in the meantime... Thanks ruby x *Algolagnia - 'pain given in love'* | ||

I've also heard it's the first stage of a virus I'm afraid. Can't remember details (I'm drunk) but I belive a program calls numbers randomly (or if you download a ringtone) and looks in your phonebook for a familiar name...like I C E, then charges to or dials a premium number. Don't know if that's clear. Did I mention I'd had half a shandy?
...and if I fall I'm only down; I'll face the sky - and I'll be there second time around to practice the balance I've found... | ||

No, it is NOT a hoax. The message going around saying that it's a virus is however a hoax. Check out: http://www.snopes.com/crime/prevent/icephone.asp and http://www.eastanglianambulance.com/content/news... if you have any doubts. "There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so" | ||
