ICE Standard with Smart911 Commonly Asked Questions

iPhone and iPad


When I try to save my data, ICE Standard closes and my data is not saved.

This happens to some users after updating to the latest version. To fix this, log out of ICE Standard and log back in again.

To log out of ICE Standard, open ICE Standard, press "edit", scroll to the Account section at the bottom, then select "log out". You'll be given the option to sign in as an existing user; choose this option, then re-enter your username and password as normal.


I attempted to set up an account and entered the user name and password information as requested. When that information was sent I got an error message that it could not connect to the server.

I don’t see an option for displaying insurance information on the lock screen, which is important. Am I missing something?

Apologies for the inconvenience. The insurance information section is not currently an option to be shown automatically on the lock screen. You can, however, copy and paste the information to the Other Info section if you wish.


Using the ICE Standard with Smart911 app, I entered the necessary info and established a lock screen wallpaper on my iPhone and also completed the auto app info.  However, when I try to open a Smart911 account and register my phone number using the ICE app I continue to get a ‘could not connect to server Error 400’ message. I finally registered with Smart911 directly using that app. What’s up with the ICE Standard app and will the fact that I registered directly with the Smart911 rather than using the ICE Standard app create any problems in the future?

It sounds like you are registered with ICE Standard and not just saving data locally - is this correct? If you aren’t sure, you can open the app and select ‘edit’ and scroll down to the bottom. If you are registered with ICE Standard your email address should be shown there, along with an option to disable cloud backups. Please let us know if you can save modifications to your account data and the email address you registered with. Our Support Team will check to see if there are any issues with your account. 

Registering with Smart911 separately will not conflict with registering through ICE Standard; the information you entered when registering with Smart911 directly will be shown first to emergency responders, and if you connect ICE Standard to Smart911 additionally later that will be shown on a secondary screen.


On your app Ice Standard I entered some info and it shows correctly as the wallpaper on my locked screen. However, When my locked screen is viewing and I hit Emergency and then *Medical ID, it shows my medicines and an erroneous weight, neither of which I never entered.

The Medical ID information on the emergency section of the lock screen is actually not filled out using our app, but rather Apple’s Health app. You can modify this information by opening Apple's Health app that is preinstalled on all iPhones.

Also is there any way to link my Contacts to the app?
