Can I Utilize a Texting App for Emergency Services?

Created by Support Team, Modified on Tue, 21 Jan at 11:56 AM by Support Team

While Texting App provides excellent communication capabilities, it’s important to understand its limitations in emergency situations: 

WiFi Numbers: Virtual numbers provided through WiFi connections are not linked to traditional phone lines, which can make them inaccessible to emergency responders in certain scenarios.

SIM (Private) Numbers: These numbers function similarly to traditional phone numbers but still rely on a stable internet connection. This reliance on internet service may hinder communication during emergencies, especially in areas with unstable connections or outages.

Important Note: Texting App doesn’t block communication during emergencies. However, we strongly recommend using your mobile service provider's traditional phone call or text messaging services when contacting emergency services. These methods generally offer more reliable access to emergency responders.
