The new system can communicate with people in both English and Spanish. To contact the service, enter “911” in the recipient field. The first text to the service should be short – include the address of the emergency, and ask for police, fire, or the ambulance. Send the message, and a 911 call center should respond. If the message is not delivered to the call center, texters will receive a “bounce back” message from the wireless caller saying the text is not deliverable. If this occurs, contact 911 dispatch through a phone call.
