ICE contact coming up when calls are received instead of person's name

With the solution I posted above, you don't have to remove ICE. I have my wife's number listed under ICE with the "0" added to the end, and it works perfectly. I can dial ICE, and incoming calls from my wife show up wIth her name.

A great solution for this is to add a "0" to the end of the phone number for the contact that you want to filter out. You can still call the person just fine, but the incoming call won't match the number with the "0".

For example:

MyWife 555-1234

ICE 555-12340

Dialing ICE will still work, but incoming calls will show "MyWife".

But its not easy to find.

I actually had to hunt around to find this information.

At the moment the device has two contacts with the same number, resluting in a conflict between the two.

However

You could add "ICE" onto the personal contact.

e.g. changing Ben Addams into Ben Addams "ICE"

I find this works better if I Add "ICE" into a nickname or prefix feild of the contact.

This will mean 'Ben Addams' would appear in the contacts list and on the phone historie.

However Still if 'ICE' is typed into a search the contact "Ben Addams" will apear.

Hope This Helps.

Last I heard, ICE and In Case of Emergency are priority tags used in names. The phones software automatically will shows these ICE numbers when they call just incase it is an emergency.

The only know way to stop this behaviour is to remove the ICE completely.

ICE works the same way for both IOS and Android phone.

With newer versions of IOS you don't need to do this anymore. Remove ICE from all of your contacts and use the "Medical ID" section of the new "Health" app. Make sure you allow it to be seen on your lock screen. You can add your emergency contacts to this screen.

I Know! That's why I posted this!
