ICE - In Case of Emergency

This is a really nice idea. This ambulance company suggests that everyone enter the name and phone number of the person they want contacted in case of an emergency under ICE. That way emergency personnel would know whom to call.

By entering the acronym ICE – for In Case of Emergency – into the mobile’s phone book, users can log the name and number of someone who should be contacted in an emergency.

It makes very good sense, IMHO, to do this. But, as always, make sure the person you list as your contact isn't the person most likely to be with you in the car crash.

And maybe you could take this one step further and have a text message show up on your phone saying you are diabetic/epileptic/allergic to penicillin etc. It would sure beat wearing one of those medic alert bracelets!
