In Britain, texting on the mobile could soon be the quickest way to call for police help. The Government has given the go-ahead for a new 999 text-messaging emergency line which will work in tandem with the traditional call centre.
For the first time the system will allow everyone to contact the emergency operator on their mobile phone without speaking.
It will also allow 999 operators to pinpoint the caller's location from the signals sent by people's mobile phones - potentially cutting bogus calls.

I think this service has been long overdue, but as they say better late than never.
This is perfect for people who have disabilities or speach problems, and for calling the Police discretely without anyone being aware.

or if you are drunk and you see a fight, it's better to send a sms than talk with the operator
