that is a great idea

A rather inovative idea. I like it. There should be a txt based 911 also. Say for example someone breaks into ur house, u could txt it instead of risking talking on the phn while someone's in ur house. Or ur very ill and can't talk, just txt it. I love it.

@Kitten202021 1. if someone was ill they wouldn't have the energy to text

2. if a person broke into my house i would to scared to think about texting and the person might find you by the time your done the text

@Kitten202021

1. in these areas there are no 911, or cops for that matter

2. they can't afford it

3. however this could be effective in second and first world countries

@MrPercyjr You're referring to the "text and drive" scenario right?

[MrPercyjr]

Thanks for sharing with us how texting can save lives. I also know that texting can take lives. If I may, can I introduce to you a system that will help you text without typing. You can just speak it, and send it. It is really saving lives. Keep doing what you are doing. There are so many that can be helped.
