I saw this item on the tv news. Why has it not had coverage before now (and I live in the East Anglian area)? I've added it to my address book and I urge that we all do the same.

The idea is that you store the word " ICE " in your mobile phone address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would want contacted "In Case of Emergency". (For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc) In an emergency situation, ambulance or hospital staff would then be able to quickly find out who your next of kin is, and be able to contact them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. So please do. Your next of kin might know vital information that could help save your life. They would want to be with you if you should be ill, or injured. At the very least, it could put their mind at rest. Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book - it won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
