ESMS App for iPhone

Emergency SMS for deaf, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people.

The ESMS application has been configured to compile text messages that can be sent to the emergency services via the UK service emergencySMS. emergencySMS is a "service that lets deaf, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people in the UK send an SMS text message to the UK 999 service where it will be passed to the police, ambulance, fire rescue, or coastguard." Please visit their website for more information about their service http://www.emergencysms.org.uk/.

You must be registered at http://www.emergencysms.org.uk/ to use their service.

You only need to enter your address the once which will speed up the process when you need to send an Emergency SMS. Once your address is saved in the application all you need to do to send an ESMS is select the service you require (Police, Ambulance, Fire Department or Coastguard), enter some detail of what the problem is, then press Send. In the new update for iOS 4.0, an SMS prompt is displayed for you to check the SMS contents. All you need to do here is press send and the message will be sent to 999 (999 can be changed to any other number in the system settings).

This application has been released worldwide because if the service is available in your country, all you need to do is go into the application settings and change the emergency number from 999 to the emergency number in your country that accepts Emergency SMS.

This app has since been removed due to moving my app development to Australia. It may be re-released soon.
