T-Mobile Lights Up Text-to-911 for All Satellite Users, Including Non Customers

Text-to-911 is a feature available to essentially all smartphone users. With it, you can text with dispatchers during an emergency, no longer needing to call and speak with someone. Starting now, T-Mobile is firing up Text-to-911 via its satellite network for all customers (and non customers), meaning you can get a hold of emergency services so long as you have access to the sky.

This is a feature you don’t ever want to need, but could be absolutely lifesaving in some situations. And the beauty is, so long as you have a compatible smartphone (even if you’re not a T-Mobile subscriber), you can register for free access.

var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var mapping = googletag.sizeMapping().
addSize([0, 0], [[300, 100], [300, 250]]).
build();
googletag.defineSlot( ‘/1043061/DL_INJECT1’, [[300,100],[300,250],[300,600]], ‘gpt-ad-7182845341638-0’ )
.addService(googletag.pubads()).defineSizeMapping(mapping);
window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers || {};
const timers = window.advadsGamEmptySlotsTimers;

timers[‘gpt-ad-7182845341638-0’] = setTimeout( function () {
const id = ‘gpt-ad-7182845341638-0’;
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 1000 );

if ( typeof window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener === ‘undefined’ ) {
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotRequested’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] === ‘undefined’ ) {
return;
}
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
timers[id] = setTimeout( function () {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
delete ( timers[id] );
}, 2500 );
} );
googletag.pubads().addEventListener( ‘slotResponseReceived’, function ( ev ) {
const id = ev.slot.getSlotElementId();
if ( typeof timers[id] !== ‘undefined’ ) {
clearTimeout( timers[id] );
delete ( timers[id] );
}
if ( ! ev.slot.getResponseInformation() ) {
document.dispatchEvent( new CustomEvent( ‘aagam_empty_slot’, {detail: id} ) );
}
} );
window.advadsGamHasEmptySlotListener = true;
}

googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display( ‘gpt-ad-7182845341638-0’ );
} );
