Ok spreading the word here,

All the mobile networks including Vodafone (my employer) are pushing whats now call ICE (Incase of emergency)

What this basicly is, is to add to any name in your contacts list on your mobile the word "ICE" in brackets next to anyone who you would wish to be contacted in case of an emergency..

Hence I.C.E

Example - Home (ICE) 01925******

This will help both police, ambulance services, fire and anyone contact people who would need to be informed should you have an accident whilst out and about. All emergency services now recognise this and will be used should ppl have the unfortunate pleasure of being in a situation where your next of kin or anyone would need to be contacted.

Feel free to re-post this on other forums and tell freinds this so that it gets round quite alot, as i asume everyone who reads this will agree on the benefits of this new scheme.

It will be rolled out publicly but at the moment its kinda of dead with publicity, despite it beeing a recognised thing.

Thanks

great idea

Rhys

Been posted shit loads of times, But suppose still worthy for those peeps who havent seen it

Zetec Andy

Good idea but surely any emergency service employee would have the brains to just go into a mobile and call 'home'

bud-weis

what if you live on your own and 'home' is your own house?

M Brian

but home might not be the number to call?!!


and pressing star dont take my lock off its proper secret squirrel my phone

Zetec Andy

then you will get the answerphone message when your out of hospital

Stu.H

how many people havent got "mum" or "dad"

and also "home" ?

MrsFrog

Wouldn't it make more sense to have "ICE - Home" instead? So they don't have to go through the whole of the phonebook to find them....

EssexBoyRacer

Cant believe it took a woman to bring that one up!

But that was exactly what I was thinking.

I would hope that whoever is rescuing me has enough common sense to look for something like "Home", "Mum", "Dad" or "Sister" before fannying around looking for this 'ICE' thing.

mum and bro are already in my phone book,

Paddy

I reckon adding the ICE thing to a different number that you want to be rung In Case of Emergency might be a good idea then.

chinese take way or sex parlour, is hardly gonna be helpfuf

Paddy

We're not talking about the numbers you use so often BT put them on your "Friends and Family" list for you

Can imagine some poor bloke ringing your ICE number and hearing "This call will cost you Ł1.50 a minute - mobile rates vary - prepare to be talked through the most amazing sex you;ve ever had with a farmyard animal"



we've all done it.

Chipperx2

I got an email about it teh other day, thought it was bollocks, but then realised its a pretty good idea

bud-weis

i was replying to the post above mine smart arse

I.C.E

Thats Cool!

MrsFrog

OI!! I got there first....

That's assuming you've put them in your phone book under what they are for you. Lots of people call them by their names... especially sisters or brothers...

St3V3_C

I think that's a for spoon

Oh, and I've put this on a couple of numbers

SPo0n

I have my sisters as "Sister1", "Sister2", and "Sister3". Parents = "Mum" and "Dad". If someone can't work out who to ring... i might aswell be dead

zoso11

the general idea is to allocate "ice" against any no. youd want calling, so if it had Alexndra Mon-Spritzbottom Calhoom The Third (ice) they'd call that..

there looking for ice.. nothing else!

Dan

Seems like a sensible idea tho!

james_birch

you are a fucking spoon aint ya!

just cant go along with the flow....its a good idea if it wasnt for spanners like you alot more people would take up ideas and there would be no need to go through your fone find sister 1,2,3 and think "well which one do i call?!" one might be australia! one might have panick attacks, how the fuck are they ment to know!




shit for brains some people!

why cant ya just put i.c.e infront of the person YOU would prefere to know/find out whats happend to ya! then you know for sure who will be called in an emergency they might call someone you aint spoke to in ages

"hello the person who owns this mobile has been in a trgic accident"

"oh right.....good serve the fucker right for drinking my pint and fucking my bird"

"oh ok....any idea of who gives a shit?"

"no!"


Not a constructive way is it?!!!!

james_birch

lmfao @ me putting the pint infront of the bird........just shows my priorities!

And If I put ICE infront of say Mums number and shes out, then the'll just phone dad, misses, home, brother, gran, work, dentist, brothel etc so how does the system help then

Or if I'm a chav and have Halford's ICE already in my phone it could get confussing

zoso11

ok well i guess the sensible ppl got the idea of it then.. and the usual "il write anything to slate it" ppl dont..

you know.. the people who would reply to a topic titled.. "I love Fords" with "i think there shit"

MrsFrog

zoso11

yeah i was slightly pissed off wen i wrote that lol

Andreas

Good idea though, will edit my phone book to make it more clear.

So you gotta add it to a number you would call in the event of an emergency?

Like 999? Silly fookers would be going round in circles then
