My Alter-ego : Do you have ICE in your mobile?
Me : Crazy or what? ice in mobile? !%$#@&?
My Alter-ego : I meant ICE and not ice.
Me : What’s the difference?
My Alter-ego : Good question! Here you go…
ICE stands for In Case of Emergency. It is a new concept catching on in the developed and developing countries where cellular phone usage has become essential. ICE numbers or ICE contacts are nothing but the contact numbers of people stored in your mobile phone, whom you think are to be intimated in case of any emergency. For example, you store your home number as ICE in your mobile’s contact list. You are caught in an emergency, a person who rescues you picks up your mobile and sees your ICE number and intimates them. It is as simple as that. If you have more than one contact to be informed, you can store them as ICE, ICE1, ICE2 and so on.
Me : Oh I see! It is a good thing. Who started it?
My Alter-ego : Bob Brotchie, a paramedic is the man behind this concept. He is travelling places to promote this as a universal concept. Hope, everyone follows suit. Imagine a world, when people are informed at the right time so they don’t miss there loved ones.
Me : Oh yeah! That will be great! By the by, Where can I find more information on ICE numbers and their usage?
MY Alter-ego : icecontact.com
Me : Thanks! I am gonna chill my mobile with some ice sorry ICE numbers.
