Salford Women’s Aid | Domestic Abuse CharitySMS 999 Service
This was originally developed for people who are hard of hearing or with a speech disability. It can also be used in situations where you cannot talk. You must register before you use it, on their website.
Website: www.emergencysms.netThe Silent Solution
Silent calls to mobiles that can be made by anyone in acute danger where speaking may increase the risk.
If the emergency services receive a 999 call from a mobile, no one speaks but the person calling dials 55, that call will be put through to a police call handler who will try and establish contact through yes/no questions. They cannot trace a location via a mobile call.
From a landline, dialling 55 will not have the same effect. Instead, the individual should hang on the line and, if possible, make even a small noise. The call handler will be able to note the location and send help.
