I know that this new service will be intended for incidents of a less serious nature, but does anyone know if there is an SMS service available for serious situations?

I was wondering about this the other day actually in one of my staring into space mind-tangents.
Can people send a text to 999 requesting police assistance if they are in immediate danger?

I'll make a 'for instance'. If a girl is being followed, she puts herself at risk by making a call, as putting the phone to her ear makes her less aware of the movements/actions of person behind her. Being able to discreetly send a text message (as most of my generation are well trained in from classroom disobedience) would solve the problem.

Sorry if this is seen as a thread wander.
