Need help with ICE contact

[Scorpio46]

So every time my wife calls or texts, it comes up as my ICE contact instead of her name. My old S2 didn't do this. Surely there is a way to have the same phone number on more than one contact and specify a preference, no?

Anyway, if somebody knows how to get around this that would be great. Deleting my wife's number from the ICE contact is NOT an option.

Where does your wife's name appear in your list of contacts? That is, does her name appear before or after ICE?

I use this method which enables you to add approved numbers to the emergency call from lockscreen.

Before you start, delete the ICE contact from your phonebook.

Then, add the required contact to your ICE group:
Phone > Contacts > Groups (2 head symbol) > ICE - emergency contacts > + > select contact.

Next, from the lock screen, slide the emergency call icon (the red phone) up to unlock the emergency dialler phone keypad. Above the keypad are 4 + symbols. Touch one of them and add the required contact from the ICE - emergency contacts group. Now, when your wife rings, your phone will display her name rather than ICE.

This only works for contacts placed in your ICE group so that anyone finding your locked phone can only either call 911/999 or your selected contact and can't run up a bill by dialling other numbers.

This also means that you could have up to four contacts in your ICE group if required and gives some speed dial functionality from the lock screen in daily use.
