Safety Question about 911?!


Question: I was thinking to myself what I would do in case of an emergency at my college and automatically my mind (just like most people who text) wondered if I could actually text message 911.

When I did a little research online I found out that it's not possible to text message 911.

Is it just me or do you think you should be allowed to text message 911? (One step further, don't you think we should be able to contact 911 online?)

very good question, everyone uses the internet and texting, it would be a good thing

911 is based on land lines. Hints the reason you can not text.

Plus, it would be easier just to call them on your cell!!

I could see it now,

Omg, plz send hlp. Like nOw!!!

texting and online communication with 911 is not as convenient or fast. With phone communications, it is much faster.

knuckles said it all its a land line, you can't text or contact them online, plus if your texting your not that badly in need of 911 r u and if your online same thing not really in need of 911 r u.

No...then that wouldn't be much of an emergency..The quickest way is with a 911 dispatcher. In most cases, there some questions that must ask before they dispatch the job...including info on offender(s).......

Do you know how long it would take you to text "Help me somebody's trying to murder me!!! I live at....." Not too practical if you ask me! (When you call from a landline and even drop the call, the dispatch center will know automatically where the call originated from and will send help immediately)

WHAT MAKE YOU THINK YOU WOULD HAVE THE TIME TO TEXT IF YOU WERE BEING SHOT OR STABBED, DO YOU THINK THEY WOULD WAIT TILL YOU WERE DONE BEFORE KILLING YOU ! geeeeezz!!!
