Today, the FTC or the Federal Communications Commission continues to alarm the people from relying too much on text messages to reach emergency hotlines such as 911. According to sources, the innovation is available to 59 out of the total 6000 plus communication centers across the nation. On FCC’s official website, it noted that that one’s ability to connect and contact 911 using text messages is only made available through a limited basis. Data shows that text messages have a very limited capacity in reaching 911. For that reason alone, one should not rely solely in text messages to reach the emergency hotline.
