SMS 2 911
Verzion took the initiative this week and announced its own plans to allow text messages to be sent to 911 for its customers. Working with TeleCommunication Systems, sending of messages to emergency call-centers is going to be available as early 2013. Texting isn't just about adding communication options. It is also a valuable tool to the deaf, hard of hearing and situations where talking is dangerous, or not possible. The service will use existing CDMA and SMS networks, and therefore should be available to all customers once finally rolled out.
