Important Notice: TXT App Now Not Recommended for Emergencies


While TXT App Now offers convenient calling and texting features, it's crucial to understand that it is not recommended for contacting emergency services. Here's why:

  • Reliance on VoIP: TXT App Now utilizes Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology for calls. VoIP can be susceptible to internet connection issues, potentially delaying or disrupting emergency calls.
  • Limited Reach: Emergency services rely on traditional phone networks for optimal functionality. TXT App Now calls might not reach emergency services in all situations or locations.


Always prioritize traditional phone calls for emergencies. Dialing the emergency number on your phone directly ensures the best chance of reaching emergency responders quickly and reliably.


Alternatives for Enhanced Safety:

  • Consider programming emergency numbers directly into your phone's contact list for quick dialing.
  • Explore emergency service apps specifically designed for contacting help in your region. These apps often utilize features that can improve response times.


Remember: Your safety is paramount. In emergency situations, prioritize using traditional phone calls or dedicated emergency service apps.
