Emergency contacts
Many people do not carry emergency contact details with them.
If you are in an accident and cannot speak, emergency services may look for ICE on your mobile phone. ICE stands for In Case of Emergency.
Adding an ICE contact to your phone means someone who helps you can contact the right person.
ICE contacts show on your lock screen. This means they can be seen without unlocking your phone.
You can add more than one emergency contact, such as:
- ICEmum
- ICEdad
- ICEhusband
- ICEwife
- ICEpartner
- ICEson
- ICEdaughter
