Guest guest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 ICE on cell phone list of numbers Let us, for a moment, create a scenario wherein we are involved in an accident or had a heart attack and the people attending us get hold of our cell phone, but don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored, but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored under the name ICE (In case of Emergency) in our cell phones. Recently, the concept of " ICE " is catching up quickly. It is simple, an important method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a person or persons, who should be contacted during an emergency, as " ICE " (meaning In Case of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always cell 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. Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national " In case of Emergency (ICE) " campaign. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number 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. A great idea that will make a difference! Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our cell phones today! Please forward to all your " nearest and dearest " !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
