ICE - In Case of Emergency

ICE - In Case of Emergency Storing 'ICE' in your mobile phone along with a name and telephone number will enable the emergency services to quickly contact someone for you in the event of an emergency.
Eight out of ten people in the UK carry no next of kin details, yet 80% carry a mobile phone, most of whom have it on them all the time. There is no simpler way of letting the emergency services know who to contact should you be involved in an accident than by using ICE.

Standing for In Case of Emergency, ICE will allow emergency service crews to quickly contact a nominated person who can be informed of the incident.
