ICE
Your Phone
I-C-E, or
"In Case of Emergency," is a simple thing that you can do
to make your cell phone more effective in an emergency.
By
programming the phone number of an easy-to-reach friend or family
member into your phone's directory and identifying them as I-C-E, a
first responder who recovers the phone after an accident can easily
communicate with your emergency contact. http://www.icecontact.com/oldsite/
