make sure before you ride out your mobile is fully charged and waterproofed !!! nothing worse than not being able to make emergency calls if required, also dont forget your I.C.E In Case of Emergency contacts, 999 services really do look for these now. :'( :'( :'( :'(

Thank you - just added the ICE one now. Pray I never ever need it but its there now. Felt horrible typing it in.

A good one also for those of you that go off the beaten track where phone reception isn't strong enough to make a call but your phone will send a text is to register with the Emergency Services by texting 'register' to 999 then you will receive instructions from there.

I thought this service was set up for deaf and speech impaired people, created by the RNID

Im not sure that bikers having poor phone signal constitutes correct usage of this service, therefore I wouldn't encourage it, sorry.

If i'm ever in a situation where due to injury i can't talk then i'm grateful for the service

Always dial 112 in an emergency situation.
112 is better than 999 ; 112 locates you by grid ref for the emergency services to be able to find you.

112 was originally for coastguard but expanded years ago to become a generic number encompassing all the services
