Emergency - get help from your mobile

This was mentioned last year... but probably useful repeating it every now and then... mine is done.

The 112/999 thing does have other uses - apparently 112 will sometimes work where 999 doesn't (from a mobile).

This one definately is untrue, theres an email that goes around saying you can use 112 on your mobile even if there is no mobile signal, such as on the tube or in the middle of nowhere.
112 and 999 use exactly the same system to get through to the emergency services.
Both work on other networks, so if you are on orange and there is no signal, you can place a 999 or 112 call through whatever signal is available, but if there is no signal at all, you won't get through with either number.
the ice system is a good idea, mine are down as:
ICE1 DAD MOBILE
ICE2 DAD HOME
ICE3 BOB
etc etc
so if someone can't get through to the first choice, its clear who they should call next.
Unfortuantley on my phone I can't store dad's number under DAD and ICE1 DAD so when someone else uses my phone to find him, they can't as they're not expecting it under ICE, not too much of a problem thoguh.

On most mobiles you can store numbers under ICE and their name too. The ICE number is automatically stored as the first number in the phonebook too to save the emergency services having to trawl through your entire entourage of mates!
