Waterloo, Iowa first to accept 911 text messages

A 911 call center in Waterloo is the first in the country to accept text messages.

The call center starts accepting and responding to texts sent to "911" on Wednesday afternoon. Call centers around the country are looking at following in its footsteps, since calls are now just one of many things phones can do.

Black Hawk County police chief Thomas Jennings says 911 texting should be of particular help to the county's deaf and hard-of-hearing residents, who have had to rely on more cumbersome methods to reach 911.

For now, 911 texts only working with one local carrier, i wireless, and only in Black Hawk County...


"i need help, ttyl"

Terrible news for horror movies.

No more scenes where the hero calls 911 while hiding in a closet and the psycho hears him whispering.

Seems to make sense, if you're in a situation where you can't talk but can text, why not. Seems like this should be available everywhere.

Uh they can actually trace you without you having to call them nowadays.
