Subject: [illinoisdigitalham] HF to Cell Phone Texting (SMS)
> Cell Phone texting, also known as SMS, can provide 24/7 access for
> emergency/disaster relief purposes. It enables immediate alerting and
> messaging with personnel.
>
> For more information that includes an example of how SMS via HF is
> being used for Emcomm, please see the presentation "ALE for Emergency
> / Disaster Relief Communications" on the web at:
> http://www.hflink.com/garec/
>
> When cell sites are congested during disasters or communications
> emergencies, SMS texting may still function in some cases, even when
> voice service is down. This situation was experienced in some parts of
> the Katrina disaster zone.
>
> More and more, disaster response organisations are using SMS and short
> text email to meet their needs. Hams involved with Emcomm should work
> to support this also.
>
> It is possible to send/receive SMS text messages on HF without a
> computer. For more information about this, see the website:
