ICE contact on a locked phone

[WinstonWolf]

Hopefully none of us will ever need to know this... Most of us probably have an ICE contact in our phones, but did you know you can access the details and any notes you've left on a locked iPhone?

Get your details updated folks

Surely just some form of ID would allow the cops to get your address and emergency contact? I always just stick my driving license in my pocket.

The more info that's quickly available in an emergency the better IMO. My ICE also has who I am, my DOB and "no known allergies or medical conditions" in it. It certainly won't do any harm

This is just so alien to me. Is this such a pressing concern for so many?

Anyway, any ICE system that requires the first responder to know how Siri or Android or whatever to work is a stupid idea. People wouldn't even think to check and if they did, you'd have the wrong OS or whatever. And if it was an iPhone the battery would be flat.


When my old man climbed, he had a wee label with his blood type and emergency contact on his helmet. I assume all you safety-conscious chaps wear helmets so why not do that and give whoever finds your body a fighting chance of finding the details

Well I've been dead once so I just thought it might be handy to know

I'm feeling much better now...
