I have ICE in my phone.. I was reading through guideliness for riding in groups, saw that and thought it was a good idea.

When i went off on my little jolly last year I removed the ICE contact from my phone as I figured that there was very little point in having it - all it would do would make the ice contact at the end of the phone feel a bit helpless.

As I haven't bought another bike since selling my dakar, I'm holding off re-inserting an ICE contact.

I just realised that I have an SOS talisman on my necklace as I'm allergic to penicillin and anti-inflammatories, does this count as ICE?
I polled " I have nothing like this" before I realised I was wearing it

in a way yes - as we hop to compliment the campaign with educating those who are ice contacts with little magnetic snapfaxes so they have a handy file of blood group and medical problems in case they are called.

On my halvarssons jacket there is a plastic window on the forearm. Not only is it rather handy for carrying my swipecard(with ugly mugshot) for the security barrier at work, but also my ICE numbers are in there too. Its a bit hard to miss them in there really.

:confused:

It's in case of emergency. What if you were walking and fell down a manhole and paramedics needed to contact someone to let them know?

i have an SOS talisman round my neck with my numbers and what i am allergic too but i am in the process of adding them to my phone also

I've never heard of anything like this tbh.

Its it a commonly known thing? if someone is in my phone as ICE then they will be called in an emergency by anyone who finds me?
But then I'd have to get phone calls from ICE quite often and texts from ICE asking what time Im going to be home.

ICE in phone. Have had for several years as a result of Mog's nagging on Surfers' rideouts. He was right, of course :-)

Use the digitags regulary
use digi tags occassionally

Erm....... say what?

I just duplicated the number in my phone to an ICE entry. Luckily it comes up with the person's name when I receive calls and texts as their entry is before ICE alphabetically.

Those USB sticks you can input with personal data??

I have put an ICE number in my phone though I am aware its only just starting to be thought about by the emergency services. As for digitags, nope and never would, pretty sure emergency services will not use them after the first time one introduces a trojan etc that takes down their systems.

One thing a lot of US riders now do is carry a card round neck with important ICE details on, considering I do a lot of lonesome riding I am thinking its not a bad idea and may make something up, already have numerous lanyards that could be used

Phone is under my seat attached to autocom, in an off, who is going to go looking?.

Besides which company rules say it must be locked with a code.

So ICE on phone is a waste of time. I keep all details in my wallet

ICE in phone. My Nokia phone has a group facility, so I just made up a group called ICE and added the relevant numbers to it.

Also I carry in jacket inner pocket and bumbag a list including ICE numbers, breakdown recovery number and where I want the bike recovered to. All inside a zip seal bag. Remember if the worst happens you may not even be conscious so somebody else will be dealing with the bike recovery.

I don't have an ICE thingy on my phone, but I do have an "I'm diabetic card" in my wallet.

We had this discussion at work at the start of the "biking season". I said I might get a diabetic warning tattood on me, possibly on a wrist or top of arm until one of the "all motorbikes are mobile coffins and all bikers are future organ donor" types said what if your arm gets chopped off in an accident and it just sort of went very downhill from there.

You could just invest in a medic alert tag. In the event of emergency, someone can call the number on the tag and read out your ID number and they will be told any relevant details about you (i.e. the type of diabeties you have, whether you are insulin dependant etc etc). Came in handy when my mum collapsed due to a hypo in a shopping centre.

In answer to the poll: I dont have any form of ICE in my phone. I really should though.

That's why a written copy (or several) of your details is useful, plus the phone may get damaged in the event of a spill.

I have ICE on my phone but since moving to a Password protected Blackberry I guess this is not so handy as they can't get to it!
Will have to think about that......

I used to have ICE in the phone, but gave up with password protection.

I have metal dog tags with ICE details with my bike keys - always with me when on the bike around my neck on a lanyard.

I have it in my phone, but also have it on a piece of paper in my textile jacket and in my wallet too. So, if I'm on the bike, they can get it from my phone, or if that's broken, from my jacket and all other times, it'll be in my wallet, which comes everywere with me apart from on the bike!

Does "Mum" or "Dad" count as an ICE number? :p

No.....they may well see dad alphabetically and call that, but they will usually try for ICE numbers first and look there. In my phone I have mum and dad normally and I have a list of ICE numbers all together

I have to say, being in an emergency service and normally the one to tell families, I wouldn't be looking for ICE. I would look for "HOME" or "MUM or DAD".....
