simple, but doesn't everybode has a contact called mom or dad? i personally have contacts called mama (mom), otco (dad) and domov (home) and all my friends too. so if something happened to me, they could call them. i would search for contacts like this, rather then for ICE

I think its a brilliant idea. After speaking to a paramedic bud he mentioned that there sometimes simply isn't time to scroll thru contacts searching for Mum and Dad... Mine, e.g, is saved as §5 J&J Those being their initials, etc etc...

ICE Ill be dead before some1 get my contacts in my country...
First beat a lock app, a flip off UIQ phone (almost an uknowed phone), a long app list, finally a long contact list.
IMHO this ICE method is more a promotional strategy than a really help, we have ID cards in our wallets with our address or so similar info.
PS. When I saw the name of topic I though some1 is asking for Vanilla Ice rington

Oco: not everyone carries the same forms of ID.
For instance I carry my mobile, my visa card and my works access card. The visa will tell them who I am but doesn't have direct contact details on it. My access card only has an agent number, doesn't have a place of employment on it and looks exactly like every other swipe card out there.
On my mobile I do have a home contact but what if no one is home?
This is a great way for any emergency services worker to attempt to pick up a mobile and contact someone immeadiately. (Specially if the ICE designated contact is another mobile)
Obviously locked or protected phones are going to be an issue but then in the end this just gives a little peace of mind without paying an insurance company to do so. It's not like it costs anything.

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
