SMS Instant Messaging Saves Lives

If you think that the SMS instant messaging services on your wireless communication device is nothing more than a convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family, you'd better think again.

There's a whole lot more passing through the instant messaging wireless gateway than "Meet you at the club at 9 PM" messages and some of those text messages are saving lives according to SMS technology software developer SMS4pro.com, a company that makes SMS-enabled software tools that lets nearly any software application send and receive text messages.

The company points to a recent story from CBC News, an Australian news provider, about three men who were lost at sea in their small boat for nearly three weeks after being blown off course by a sudden fierce storm.

The three men survived the ordeal by sharing one squid that they had managed to catch and by drinking rainwater that they collected in a bucket until they drifted into an area where they found that cellular service was available. Although they were too far away from the cellular tower to get dial tone, they were amazed to discover that they were able to use instant messaging to send a text message to family members who arranged for their rescue.

There are plenty of other stories that have a happy ending thanks to instant messaging technology and to companies like SMS4Pros that provide the software needed to make it all run.

A 17 year old boy in the United States managed to use instant messaging to send a text message to his family telling them that he had been kidnapped. He was rescued, and the kidnapper caught, thanks to police who were able to home in on his instant messaging transmissions using cellular location technology.

And with kidnapping incidents becoming all too familiar around the world, many police departments and child protection agencies are setting up SMS alert systems where subscribers can join for free and use instant messaging to receive notifications whenever a missing child alert is issued.

One of the most visible users of this instant messaging technology is the U.S. based Amber Alert Network. The Dutch police recently implemented a similar text messaging system that sends bulk SMS messages whenever a child goes missing.

And in the U.K., police in the town of Bury St. Edmonds saw first-hand how valuable instant messaging can be as a crime fighting tool. The police department had recently implemented a Crime Alert system where residents could subscribe and receive instant messaging alerts whenever the police wanted to inform them of criminal activity. Their very first use of instant messaging scored a goal when citizens sent text messages back to police reporting the location of a man wanted for a series of church burglaries.

While being in business is all about profit, it's nice to know that companies like SMS4pros are involved in making the world a better and safer place by inventing technology that takes instant messaging to a whole new level.
