NOT such a clever idea for Nokia users (maybe others too).

If you save the same number under two different names (like Girlfriend
and ICE), then caller ID gets confused and no longer displays the name
of the person calling because it now has a choice of two, just their
number...

When *my* phone shows "ICE" I know exactly who is calling me, but
that's because I am blessed with the wit to remember who I set that
to. I find it hard to believe that I could meet someone stupid enough
to get confused by that, even on Usenet.

I'm sure medics are clever enough to flick thru a phone and look for MUM
or DAD rather than **** about with ICE!

Are they clever enough to look for whatever your first name is in your
wife's phone?
