How will I know if 9-1-1 received my text?

The Dispatcher will respond with the same script that voice callers hear. Example: "Campbell 9-1-1, what is the address of your emergency?" If Text to 9-1-1 is not available, you should receive a message from the wireless carrier stating that Text to 9-1-1 is not available and you must place a voice or relay call to 9-1-1.
