I.C.E. • We all carry our mobile phones with names and numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
After the 911 Call. • 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. • Sure, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? • Welcome to the ICE (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.
Add ICE to your cell phone now. • It only takes a few moments. • Since cell phones are carried by most people nowadays, 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". • When seconds matter, this information may be vital.
WHY I.C.E.? • The idea was conceived 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 thought it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. • In an emergency situation, 911 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."
Cell Phones • I.C.E. : Speed Dial Number to contact family member or Company Representative. • Many phone Companies are planning to use a button for I.C.E.

I.C.E. Tips • ICE partners should know about any medical conditions that could affect your emergency treatment - for example allergies or current medication . • If your contact is deaf, then type ICETEXT before the name of your contact.
I.C.E. Tips • If you're under 18, your ICE partner should be a parent or guardian authorized to make decision on your behalf - (in case you need a life or death operation) • In some phones having two numbers the same, your phone won't know which one to display so it just shows the number. • To cure this problem simply type a * after the number under your ICE contact and it will still work. • Remember the GPS on your phone works to the nearest Cell Tower a range of .5 to 1.5 Klms.
