Do you think it would be a good idea to be able to put an In Case of Emergency (ICE) number on the lock screen of iOS devices?
It would be like the lost phone mode on find my iPhone, where someone who finds your phone, such as a paramedic or police officer can use it to call the number if you are involved in an accident, .
iOS 6.1.3, All iOS devices.
If it's a feature you would to see you send feedback via this linkhttp://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Write an contact phone number on masking tape, and stick it on the back. A low tech solution that exactly no one does, judging by the number of iPhones, iPods, and iPads I have found left behind in public places.
No EMS first responder is going to figure out how to work your gadgets. The first thing they do is look in your purse or wallet for some form of ID.

ICE I believe is very much a UK solution not neccessarily valid
elsewhere
esp with our lack of ID generally carried compared to elsewhere
Put whatever information you would like (contact names and number) in a note. Take a screen shot of the note and then use it as your lockscreen wallpaper.
I Use the app IfFound which creates a lock screen image with whatever text/phone number you want
I have ice, but I also list "home".
In my experience, people tend to scan your contacts or recent numbers to locate you.
EMS would look under ICE since they suggested it. I don't think you need it as a lockscreen.
In Case of Emergency. ICE
