Mobiles 999 contact idea spreads "A campaign encouraging people to store personal details on their mobile phones to help identify victims of accidents and disasters has taken off since the bomb attacks in London.
Users are being urged to enter a number in their phone's memory under the heading ICE - In Case of Emergency.

The idea is the brainchild of East Anglian Ambulance Service paramedic Bob Brotchie and was launched in May..."

Make sure to put credit card numbers in there too...ICT (In Case of Theft).
Good Idea......chances are if you have a cell phone, you were chatting on it when you had your accident. I hate cell phone drivers.........shut up and drive....just my opinion.
Unless you lock your phone they have access to your contacts anyway....the benefits seem worth a little irritation if the phone is stolen IMO
Yup. Cant stand it. It makes me cranky when they do it in the grocery store too... :)
I wish they would too....dont see it happening though.
And you havent lived untill some schmuck runs into your backside in the grocery store because they are too busy "chatting" to drive the silly cart :)
Havent been to Snopes in a while...huge audience there... should help a lot to circulate the idea
They can probably find out who I am by calling the entry that says "Home" or "Mom&Dad" stored in my cell.
They better not use mine to FReep.
It would also give kidnappers an immediate number to call for the ransom.

LOL! You've put the cart before the horse. IMHO, you shouldn't
be kidnapped unless they already know who to call to get a ransom.
