    is this a serious thread???, just its in the joke section??????

    Does anyone know if the ambulance service have a policy of checking for ICE numbers, and therefore, whether this actually works?

    Other people I know, have immediate family members and the like stored in their phone as their relationship ie WIFE or MUM

        Ive kept my emergency detials under ICE in my mobile for nearly 5 years now. The services do check your mobile. ICE = In Case of Emergency. Everyone should keep thier next of kin details under ICE.
