ICE numbers is a way for paramedics, police men etc to quickly get in touch with your relatives if they for instance find you unconscious and needs to get in touch with your friends/family.
Typically you have your wife "Jane Doe" with phone number 12345678 saved in your address book. Its difficult for a paramedic to guess who your wife is in your phone book if you have 150 contacts saved.
The convention here is to save an extra entry in your phone book named "ICE1 - Wife", "ICE2 - daughter", "ICE3-Boss" etc, but with the same number as the person to call.
A problem here is obviously if you receive a call or an SMS. How should the phone know whether to show "Jane Doe" or "ICE1-Wife" in the messaging application? (Both those entries have the same number) The trick is to add an asterisk '*' at the end of each ICE number. So in my case:
Jane Doe: 12345678
ICE1-Wife: 12345678*
The phone then ignores numbers ending with an asterisk when doing name lookup.
But for MyPhoneExplorer, all SMS from my wife are displayed with "ICE1-Wife" instead of "Jane Doe".
My suggestion is that you ignore names ending with asterisk ('*') when you do name lookup for numbers in SMS, call history etc.
I hope you think this is a nice feature and would like to add it yo the great product MyPhoneExplorer.
ICE number is well known by rescue workers in several countries in Europe, see ICE number: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_case_of_emergency
Thanks in advance!
