Please ensure you test your fallback function thoroughly to ensure the execution cost is less than 2300 gas before deploying a contract.

The default fallback function will throw an exception (this was different
before Solidity v0.4.0), so if you want your contract to receive Ether,
you have to implement a fallback function.

- If a contract receives Ether (without a function being called), the fallback function is executed.
If it does not have a fallback function, the Ether will be rejected (by throwing an exception).
During the execution of the fallback function, the contract can only rely
on the "gas stipend" (2300 gas) being available to it at that time. This stipend is not enough to access storage in any way.
To be sure that your contract can receive Ether in that way, check the gas requirements of the fallback function
(for example in the "details" section in browser-solidity).
