I.C.E

Message from the Ambulance Service
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory. If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending to 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 recognized 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 dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE'.
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. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.
PASS THIS AROUND AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AS THIS CAN HELP IN AN EMERGENCY!

That is a brilliant idea..and thanks Lolly.

I'd forget to wear one of those and anyway they wouldn't match my my nail varnish.

Yes a great idea Maureen, I've already put ICE1 2 and 3 in my phone

Do you leave your house unlocked when you go out or do you lock up with your keys that are on a keyring?

Suppose I took ill inside would they check my keys?

I use ICE on my mobile. The only difference is that I put the letter A in front of it so that it is the very first number on my phone.

Done mine.

I've got 3 ICE contacts now

How would the Paramedic unlock your phone to find the ICE contact? Or am I missing summat?

My phone isn't locked. I know it should be but there's nowt on there that might be useful to anyone. But I get your drift.
