I’m hopeless when it comes to mobile phones.
I absolutely hate using them and have no idea what my mobile number is – or anyone else’s for that matter.

I have a pay as you go phone and have topped  it up twice in the past three years, but that’s only because I recently had a flood in my house and none of the house phones would work so I had to use the mobile.

How, or why people spend hours with them attached to their ears like some sort of fashion accessory, I’ll never understand.

Anyway, the point of this post is not to reveal what a  total dunce I am as far as technology is concerned, but to ask whether you ‘ve heard about the ICE your phone campaign?

Apparently, it was the idea of a paramedic, and like most great ideas it’s incredibly simple.

ICE in this case stands for In Case Of Emergency.

Paramedics often find themselves in a situation where someone has been taken ill. or been in a bad accident, and they need to contact friends
or family of the patient.

Most people carry their mobile phone with them, even if, like me, they don’t use it, but the problem the paramedics face is who to contact from the list of names in the address folder.

Obviously it would be really beneficial if they knew which number to call in case of an emergency.

Hence the ‘ICE’ (In Case of  Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of ‘ICE’ is catching on quickly, and is becoming nationally recognised as identifying the best person to call “in case of emergency”.

All you need to do is store the number of a contact person (or persons) who should be contacted during an emergency under the name ‘ICE’,  so Emergency Service personnel and hospital staff would know where to phone.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

What a great idea, isn’t it?

So, if you haven’t already done it, please ICE your phone and then tell as many people as you can about the concept.

ICE could speak for you if you’re not able to.

It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest .

Take care and start ice(ing) now!
