Text-to-911
Technology that enables 9-1-1 dispatchers to receive text messages / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Text to 911 is a technology that enables emergency call takers to receive text messages.[1] Its use is encouraged for people with hearing impairment or who have trouble speaking; it can also be used for situations when it is too dangerous to call.[2] Text-to-911 has been supported by the four major cellular providers in the United States since 2014,[3] but as of October 2018[update] it is only supported by approximately 1,600 of more than 6,000 emergency call centers.[4]
