Abstract
An emergency message handling system may manage emergency SMS text messages sent by wireless mobile communication devices, such as to 911. Each message may be sent to an emergency call service having a TTY messaging system. The emergency message handling system may include an SMS network interface, a computer processing system, and a TTY network interface. The SMS network interface may be configured to receive the emergency SMS text messages. The computer processing system may include an SMS-To-TTY message converter configured to convert each of the emergency SMS text messages into TTY format. The TTY network interface may be configured to deliver each of the converted emergency SMS text messages in TTY format to the TTY messaging system of the emergency call service to which the emergency SMS text message was sent. Emergency TTY messages from the emergency call service to the wireless mobile communication device may similarly be delivered to the TTY network interface, converted by a TTY-To-SMS message converter in the computer processing system into SMS format, and sent by the SMS network interface to the wireless mobile communication device.
