dose anybody on here use this idea ?
apparently you put your contact details in your mobile phone under ICE ( in case of emergancy ) and the who ever finds you in a ditch or if you should fall off they look for ice and call your next of kin or spouse / mum
quite a simple idea realy do they look though ? any body tried it

I have it in mine & my kids had it in theirs when they were in school ... ever since the London bombings when it was mentioned that they had found phones & did not know who they belonged too
only issue for me now tho is my phone has a keypad lock on it, and if you take the sim card out that will ask for a PIN number too before you can access the info on that ... so no one would be able to get into it if anything does happen, so I have a card in my pocket with it written on

Yes, we had this passed on to us at work a couple of years ago. I believe its a recognised feature by the emergency services.

I use it too.
Also use Medic Alert (bracelet with medical info & 24hr phone no. on) recognised worldwide as I take meds etc
Just thought I'd add that in case there's others out there with other info that would need to be known if you were in an accident etc

I do it and leave my phone unlocked also carry a card but when i lost my phone no one rang to say they had found it, they just used the money on it

I was told about this idea around 6 years ago,never used it thou
as have also heard that it was being used by downright dodgy folk
as a way of getting into your phone/computer to obtain other
personal info. Don't ask me how as I'm a total tecnophobe.
When I'm out on the bike I have a laminated card with all relevent
details on it.

Don't forget to *update all your ICE details regularly, whether they are in your mobile, on a tag, or a card in your wallet/purse.
*add the date of update to the info so that emergency workers know.
My son changed his mobile phone (with new number every time) so often I had trouble keeping up lol
