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 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!

I've heard about this before, but could prove risky in all 3rd world countries like ours. Imagine this situation...

You lose your phone one day & franco* finds your phone with all the ICE numbers. franco calls & demands a ransom to release you. You ICE person pays up to ensure your safety, but you were never in a situation. Now who is on the losing side?

Point to ponder, how many of you here immediately call up all your ICE people the moment your phone is lost?

....but if that person already has intentions...how also with or without the ICE numbers he already knows who to contact for ransom....well but in any case there is always good and bad ..only whether which one outweigh which...:top::love:
