<DIV>This sounds like a really good idea...<FONT

phones with hundreds of names/numbers stored in its memory yet nobody, other
than ourselves, know which of these numbers belong to our near and dear ones?
Let us for a moment create a scenario wherein we are involved in an accident or
have a heart attack and the people attending us get hold of our mobile phone but
don't know which number to call to inform our family members. Yes, there are
hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an
emergency? For this reason, we must have one or more telephone numbers stored
under the name ICE (In Case of Emergency) in our mobile phones. Recently, the
concept of "ICE" has been catching up quickly. It is simple -- an important
method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by a
majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact
person or person who should be contacted during an emergency as "ICE." The idea
was thought up by a paramedic who found that when they went to the scenes of
accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know
which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there
was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. Following a disaster in
London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service launched a national "In case of
Emergency (ICE)" campaign. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service
personnel and hospital staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of
kin, by simply dialing the number stored as "ICE." Please forward this. It won't
take too many forwards before everybody will know about this. It really could
save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. For more than one contact
name, simply enter ICE1, ICE2, ICE3, etc. It's a great idea that will make a
difference! Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our
mobile phones today!</DIV></BODY></HTML>
