:: Text messaging for safety ::

I recently suffered the inconvenience of breaking down: the throttle cable on my people carrier had snapped. Calling Direct Line breakdown cover, arranged through Green Flag, was a very efficient process, aided by the effective use of text messaging. Within a few minutes of completing my call to the breakdown emergency number, I received a text message announcing which garage was going to recover my car and the estimated time of arrival, which turned out to be accurate.

I was quite delighted to experience a practical and extremely useful application of text messaging. Well done Green Flag!
