ADDRESS RELIABILITY AND AUGMENTATION FOR EMERGENCY TEXT

Abstract:

Systems and methods may be used for providing an emergency text service via a mobile device. These systems and methods may include receiving an indication that an emergency text service has been started at the mobile device, generating a user interface component for entry of a location by a user, and receiving, via the user interface component, location information entered by the user. The systems and methods may include separately determining a probable location of the mobile device without user input and sending, in a single emergency communication, both the location information entered by the user and the probable location of the mobile device.
