The BBC reports of a campaign by East Anglain Ambulance Service to "ensure next of kin are alerted quickly in cases of emergency".

"All people have to do is store the word "ICE" in their mobile phone address books and put the next of kin's number against it," said a spokesman.

"This is the person to be contacted quickly 'In Case of Emergency' by ambulance and hospital staff."

Simple innit? Until you realise that people have me have their phones and PDAs passworded to prevent snoopers and thieves. If my phone is going to be stolen i might as well make it a bit difficult for whoever has it.

The phones are locked to the SIM for starters and if it happens not to be off while you pick it up, there's the software lock that prevents u from doing anything other than receiving calls.

ICE that!
