I just saved my neighbors life by sending a text message to 911
earlier today
I was working at home and I glanced out the window my neighbor was climbing a
ladder to shovel snow off his roof
at hers I didn't give it much thought
when I looked again ice I'm lying on the ground so I knew something was wrong
he was unconscious
but still breathing I didn't wanna leave him fortunately
I had brought my cell phone in could send attacks to 911
in the text messaging app I put 911
in the sand to field in the message
I included the street address and city and the reason why
I needed help
I also wrote that I am def so the responders would know how to communicate
with me
the Vermont 911 operator quickly sent a reply text
letting me know that an ambulance was on the way
my neighbor is doing okay and that's because I was
able to text 911 in getting help right away
for people who are deaf or hard-of-hearing
and we don't have access to our video phones we can use our cell phone
and text 911 and dad can be a real lifesaver
text a 911 is currently available in vermont to subscribers a Verizon
Wireless and AT&T
