Contacting emergency ambulance services by SMS

7th January 2010

The pilot emergency SMS service, which allows you to contact the UK emergency services by text from your mobile, was launched in September and already nearly 3,000 of you have registered to use it. If you have yet to register, please click on www.emergencysms.org.uk/ for more information.

The main purpose of this trial is to determine how well the service works and if it meets the needs of people with a hearing loss - and the RNID need your help with this. If you, a friend or family member uses the service for a real emergency call, please tell them how it went.
