ICE, In Case of Emergancy...store contacts to SIM or Phone?
Does anyone know whether you should put ICE contacts on to the SIM card, or store it in the phone?
Thanks for your help DOS |

"In Case of Emergancy". You put 'ICE' in front of anyones names on your phone who you would call in an emergancy.
If you were in an accident, the paramedics/nurses would type 'ICE' on your phone, so they can quickly call the right person, without all the hassle of meddling through your phone. SIM or Phone? Im not sure but mines saved to my SIM. I don't think it really matters to be honest! |

Just make sure they don't call you methamphetamine dealer by mistake.

SIM has more chance of surviving, where
as the phone might be cabbaged after certain accidents... logic!! |

"ICE" is an urban myth. No police or ambulance authority has ever called for it. They'd soon find your relatives with a couple of random calls in most cases.

If you press 1# it picks the first number stored 2# the second and so on.
Or at least my Motorola did and today my Siemens does the same. |

Load of rubbish not worth doing!!
My other half and myself were involved in a head on car crash. Both of us well out of it. We both had ICE on the the Phones we were carrying, we also had 'next of kin' cards(as given out by hospitals) in our wallets/purse. Neither were used, information was gathered from the registration no. of the car (for our address) then the neighbours for eerything else. Ambulance crews have been told NOT to look in wallets as some idiots have claimed all the money has been stolen from them(yea right So now we wear Id Jewelery with all the info in, as it has more chance of reaching the hospital with you. |

That is interesting. If the ID Jewellery doesn't work. I guess the next step is to have the phone number Tattoed, lol. |

But UK hospitals would still check the blood group was right before they needed to give you more to cover themselves from negligence. |

If you search the NHS England website http://www.nhs.uk/england/searchResu...d&q=ice+mobile you will also see that ICE has been in a few bulletin's as well, although it doesn't appear to be have been officially announced (unlike NHS Wales) Vodafone are also supporting it http://online.vodafone.co.uk/dispatc...585&wt_oss=ice |
