We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in the memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As mobile phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents there were always mobile phones with patients but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognised name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialling the number you have stored as 'ICE'. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc Please forward this. It won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.
 
Seen this before nomad, and I have my ICE on my phone.
Still worthwhile to post and remind/inform others who have not seen it before.
 
i have an ice on my mobile but i dont carry my mobile around all the time, i allways have my wallet on me and that has my driving license in it and my home number as well. mobile phones can be a pain as i dont want to be contacted all the time when i am out .

Does this not confuse the issue i have "home listed"on my mobile rather than wife's name?
 
the idea is list it as ICE home,,,,,so the emergancy services would know that is the number,,,in case of emergency ..
 
Hia
Going to get my phone and enter my ICE
