Or you could simply put the information on a piece of card in your wallet, or even attached to your phone. Then teh paramedics won'thave to fiddle about looking through your phone book for a contact, it won't matter if your phone got destroyed in the accident, or the battery died, or its pin locked. You wouldn't need to worry about what would happen if you'd just borrowed someones phone for a while ...
Sorry, its a good idea but flawed in so many ways, I just can't see it being of that great a help.

I don't think it's THE solution, but anything that helps the Emergency Services is, I think, a good idea. My NOK details are on my Donor Card, in my wallet, but I still put ICE in my phone.
It doesn't inconvenience me, costs me nothing and it *might* help.

And thats basically it....no matter how small or insignificant but anything that helps the emergency services can save lives!

I see two problems with this idea first of all I don't see how it saves life as if the emergency service is calling your family you are probably in the hospital any way. Then again the not so small problem of adjusting to the idea of receiving calls from ICE all the time. For example I will put my wife's mobile as ICe and then whenever she calls me it will come up on my mobile as ICE calling... and then later if I change ICE to my brother then have to remember again that ICE this time is brother not wife. Just my two cents

its ok idea, just if your dead and they need to contact someone then it might take a min or two more to find a contact like home or mum or dad etc but your dead, it won't matter

Old thread, but I have the same problem. Any known solution?
I want to add ICE1 and ICE2, wife and mother, but I want calls and messages from them to show up with real names, not as "ICE1" or "ICE2". Any good way of doing this?
