 Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at 
the scene
of an accident when they come across your cell phone.


 ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'
 We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in 
its memory
but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers 
belong to our
closest family or friends.

 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 cell (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.'

 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 
Mobile
phones today!
 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.  ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.
