Abstract
A wireless communication device notifies designated contacts of an emergency using contact information stored in the wireless communication device. The contact information includes, but is not limited to, a list of designated contacts, at least one individual notification message for each designated contact, and delivery information for each notification message. The wireless communication device, responsive to an emergency input, automatically retrieves the contact information from memory and sends individual notification messages to each designated contact according to the contact information. Because the wireless communication device stores all instructions and information related to the emergency notification function in memory within the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device is compatible with any wireless network capable of transmitting messages generated by the wireless communication device.
