The practice is common enough that many emergency techs know to check cell phones for ICE. I also have stored the phone numbers for Equifax, Experian and Trans Union, the 3 big credit bureaus. Calling one should be alert all 3, but why take chances if your wallet has been stolen. The Big 3 can put a freeze on you so no one can start a new account without a notice of theft popping up (and you have to call in to verify it's really you) plus it can stop any credit card offers from coming in the mail (so thieves cannot try to have offers or new cards sent to their address with your name).
