As far as I am aware, carriers are not guaranteeing SMS delivery times. So, it wouldn't do any good if the text for help reaches the police hours after the incident. ]]>Feb 9th 2009 10:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/09/london-police-launch-sms-service-to-call-for-help/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/02/09/london-police-launch-sms-service-to-call-for-help/Feb 9th 2009 10:56AM
