Looks like a good idea to me.

For people who can't speak due to a disability or any other reason.

I just hope that 999 texts get priority. I can sometimes wait hours for a SMS to be delivered.

So like the 18000 'typetalk' service supported by the RNID and provided by BT that's already in place for deaf people to dial the emergency services with a textphone

Problem with this is that by design, texts only use the overhead space in a mobile phone network's system. If the companies were to guarantee texting to a specific number, then it'd mean moving it to the main network.

Yup - no QoS on SMS (or there wasn't when I worked for BT Cellnet/O2).
