Texting 9-1-1

9-1-1 is NOT as cool as you are.....Yet.

We know that you do most of your communicating by text message and instant message, but you can NOT text or IM “9-1-1” to reach emergency services. 9-1-1 and telecommunications professionals are busy in the lab trying to make that possible, but for now you will have to make an old fashioned phone call if you want to talk to 9-1-1.
