ICE contact number 

Dear friends ,

Do we have an ICE contact number saved in your mobile???????????????
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends who can be reached in an emergency.
God forbid, If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but might not know whom to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.
The concept of "ICE" is catching on thanks to people like you. This method of contact during emergency situations on cell phones is carried by a majority of the population who know about this. All you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).
This idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he attended scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but medics didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally/internationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and Hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A good idea that can make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
If you also forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before many know about this. It really could save a life, or put a loved one's mind at rest .
Remember:-
ICE will speak for you when you are unable to ........ ----- Information through mail ------
