I just received this in an email. I have seen it before & forgot to do it. :rolleyes:
It has probably been around awhile, but some may be a procrastinator like me:o and need a reminder.

I think its a great idea & wanted to share.:)

This is SUCH a great idea! I updated my phone the other day and put ICE next to my hubbies name, and also put "MOM" and "DAD" next to my parent's full names, just in case.
 
I don't have this in but figure home, mom or dad should do the trick.
 
I have read something like this before. I have put in 3 ICE numbers, they have the ICE and then the name - for instance: ICE Mom, ICE Dad and ICE Bobbie Jo.

So far so good, have needed it once!
 
Yup - it's already come in handy once.DO IT!
 
Good idea. My husband has "wifey" listed as one of his numbers, but I just have "home" on mine. Now I will change it!;)
 
Already done.
 
I've got ICE next to DH, FIL, MIL, and one of my closest friends! Out of those they will be able to contact someone!
