Suppose you need to call for help in an area with a poor mobile signal ?Maybe a text message will get through when a voice call to 999 will not.
Steve Green recently picked up a Rescue Team leaflet recommending http://www.emergencysms.org.uk
In brief, you register your phone (free) by texting “register” to 999. Once registered you can send text messages to 999 in an emergency.
Takes 2 mins to do. Why not ?
