ER Texting Phone Emergency
The U.S is the global texting leader with over 40 million subscribers. Its no surprise that more and more companies are using this method of communication to reach out to potential customers. One industry that has been hit with the texting frenzy is hospitals.
The idea of using your cell for an emergency is a concept that has been thought of before, just not in the ER room. ER Texting is a fairly new company that came up with the concept of texting wait times to those who are in need of emergency medial service. How it works is pretty simple: You text your zip code to 4ER411 and receive a text showing you ER wait times from local participating hospitals. Texting 4ER411 doesn’t cost you anything more than your regular texting fee, so it’s completely free to the users. Hospitals benefit from this by making it easier for patients to reach out to them and essentially help out those in need.
