ICE on mobile phones?

It was not long ago that I read an article in the local newspapers about the mobile phones population in ratio to the human population.

The numbers of mobile phones users are increasing. With the modern and new high technologies, new models are coming up and these gadgets are really eyeing the people's 'pockets'. Even the younger generations are already becoming proud owners of trendy and well-equipped mobile phones. Well, I do own two but not the high-tech one lahhh...lols, no camera one maahhh hehehe. What is important that I can get in touch with Bigboss and Kimchi whenever I am not with them.

I believe that on every mobile phones are stored with hundreds of names and numbers in its memory. Only family members, friends and aquaintances other than ourselves, know who these people are. But do we have ICE on our mobile phones?

What is ICE? ICE = In Case of Emergency

ICE is a number or numbers that strangers can call or contact in cases of emergencies. It is a simple method of contact during emergency cases. For instance, if one is involved in an accident or had an heart attack or whatever emergencies, people or strangers or even paramedics who are attending to you, can refer to these ICE numbers and inform family members of your situation. Yes, there are many numbers stored in your mobile phones; but which one is the contact person in case of these emergencies??

Therefore for this reason, one should have one number or more stored under/as ICE in his/her mobile phones. It could save your life or put loved ones' mind at rest. It will make a difference.

It was said that this idea of ICE was thought of by paramedics who found that when they attend to the accidents scenes, there are always mobile phones with the casualties but didn't know which number to call.

I have stored mine, have you? :)

ice ice baby ...lols

Speaking of ice...do you know that a glass of iced water will not overflow even when the ice has finally melted? Try it out! This is Science. Cooool eh!
