Did you know, if you're in the UK, you can text the emergency services?
But, you *must* register first.
Text the word "register" to 999 and then follow the instructions.

That seems an odd extra step.. if they have the ability to receive texts then why not just treat them the same as calls?

@Edent the url in the registration success message returns a 403 🤦

@stevenjmesser no, it's no worries, I just didn't have the time this morning. I've emailed them and they're looking into it.

In Germany, you can't text the emergency services, but you can FAX them!
