Emergency? Put your phone on ICE

Millions of people carry a mobile phone, but how many of us have details of an emergency contact stored in its memory?

The best way out is to store an ICE (in case of emergency) number in your mobile phone’s address book.

Whoever you nominate as your ICE contact should be aware of your medical background. Your ICE contact needs to know of any allergies, medical history and current medications. Simply type the acronym ICE into your mobile’s address book, followed by the contact name (ICE Ashok, for example) and make doubly sure your contact knows your details.
