Useful Number.
Permalink  

Found this on another Forum, and thought some of you might like to add it to your Mobiles.

I'm also going to put ICE numbers on mine.  [In case of emergency.]

 

Think Policelink. Call 131 444   [ Except Victoria apparently.  000 there.]

Available 24 hours, 7 days a week to report non-urgent property crime and non-urgent incidents.

If the crime is not happening now, life threatening or there is little likelihood of the suspected offenders in the area, call Policelink 131 444 for non-urgent assistance.

To report non-urgent incidents of stealing; wilful property damage; break and enter; stolen vehicles or lost property contact Policelink on 131 444.

Website: policelink.qld.gov.au

Save Triple Zero (000) for emergencies.
If it is not urgent, think Policelink. Call 131 444.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Hi Sheba,

This is apparently where ICE orignated from, NSW Ambulance service says the idea has merit but they don't accept any responsibility for it, see this link but please remember this is not a hoax;

http://www.hoax-slayer.com/ice-campaign-email.html  

However, putting ICE on your mobile is recommended by Telstra, see;

http://www.telstra.com.au/abouttelstra/advice/mobile/ice/  

Another site recommends also carrying some emergency details in your wallet in case you are unconcious and your phone is locked so emgency personnel cannot unlock your phone.

I have an app on my phone for ICE and it is displayed on the screen and as my phone is not locked it is available if needed. I had reason to be grateful for it on a recent trip to Queensland when I left my phone on the  table in a coffee shop and luckily an honest person handed it into the centre management office, They then opened ICE and phoned my son to let him know where it was. As it happened I was still in the centre when they paged me so no problem otherwise he could have emailed me to tell me where to pick it up or to arrange for them to post it to me

I've had ICE numbers in my mobile for years. Have my daughters contact numbers in there in case needed as next of kin. A great idea.
