911 text messaging nationwide

         Internet Business Enterprises LLC is proud to announce the launch of our website 911TM.com. We are an emergency instant messaging system (along with other features) that participating 9-1-1 centers nationwide can use to locate and send help as you type.


911TM.com is Instant Messaging…Not SMS! 


         Short Message Service (SMS; created mid 1980's) texting has been proven over time to be incompatible with getting help in a reliable manner; there are message size limitations, timely delivery is not guaranteed and currently no reliable method of delivering messages to the correct center when traveling across state or county borders. With 911TM.com, you are linked to the appropriate 9-1-1 center based on your device's exact location. As long as your smart device has a data package and you are connected, your typed message will arrive at the closest contact center almost instantaneously and in the proper order; every time.


What about my Privacy?
       
         Privacy is a sensitive issue for all. Granted when signing up for this application we do request that you leave your GPS on all the time. We request this so that in any event you will not have to turn it on before it will locate you when in turmoil. Tracking your location only starts once you have made contact through 911TM.com. Our system locates and shares that current information with dispatchers to help find you as quickly as possible.


Why do I need 911TM.com?

         Unfortunately, we all live in a world where bad things happen daily. Being able to get help when you need it without saying a word is powerful. All you have to do is think about classroom's full of students in lock down or domestic violence situations where talking might mean the difference between life and death to realize how useful this tool becomes. Many of us take for granted our ability to hear and speak. Being able to contact 9-1-1 by means of an app on your smart device means not having to worry about carrying a TTY device or whether or not 9-1-1 will understand your needs. 911TM.com has you covered.
         
         In another scenario... What if you are hiking in the woods and get hurt. Wouldn't you like emergency personnel to have your secret spot on file; your secret spot is safe and you can still get help when your family calls you in missing. 911TM.com has you covered in all of the 55 United States of America and territories and regardless of where you are! Depending on how you utilize the features we have developed for your ease of use. (Coverage dependent on information provided to application suite, along with connection to data or internet service with your device)

There is a cost..
        
         Contrary to popular belief, 9-1-1 services are not free. While taxes pay a good portion of the costs, they only cover current technologies. Approximately 1 percent of your cell phone bill every month goes to pay 9-1-1 taxes and yet 9-1-1 centers nation-wide are being combined and jobs are lost because the current taxes cannot cover the costs; let alone bring in new technology. Pay as you go cell phones in many states have become the new way to stay in touch, but they are not required to pay these taxes, reducing funds even further. 911TM.com's subscription fees are used to help in part with this problem. Participating 9-1-1 centers will be contracted with and paid directly for every contact they manage through our service.
