Emergency Text SMS

[Sokrackers]

Just a reminder to anyone suffering shortness of breath to register their mobile phones with the emergency services so if you don't have the breath to speak you can communicate by text message.

Www.emergencysms.org.uk

It 's a good service, but worth having a template/draft message with ambulance, name, dob, postcode, house name/number, severe asthma attack, on your own, meds. In my experience, if they need more info they text back.

Stay safe. SK

Thanks Sassy

I hope everyone has registered with their utility providers that they are 'vulnerable' customers and will therefor get priority treat ment?

Thankyou mrsmummy. No use to me, for one thing I don't use a mobile phone. but certainly if you are hard of hearing, deaf or speech impaired it's a great thing.

"The emergencySMS service lets deaf, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people in the UK send an SMS text message to the UK 999 "
