Text messaging is also known as SMS or "short message service." Text messaging is a way to communicate on your mobile phone by sending or receiving plain text messages. To determine if you can send text messages, it is best to contact your wireless provider or refer to your mobile device's manual.
You will not be asked to reveal your identity to the Police in order to provide information about a violent crime and the Police will not be able to trace the text message in any way.
A special computer server will encrypt your message and mask your identity before sending your tip to the Police. This service is truly anonymous.
