Subject ECC Report on Roaming SMS to 112 – challenges, current practices and future (harmonising) measures 
Related WI
Scope For roaming end-users, routing of SMS to the emergency numbers of the visited country does not reach the visited country’s PSAP. As a consequence, also the AML-SMS caller location information will not be transmitted to the PSAP. Taking into account the different mobile network technologies, potential costs and the current capabilities of the main operating systems (e.g. Android, iOS), this report will:
  • Describe the problems related to roaming SMS to emergency services on 112 () and other national emergency numbers,
  • Investigate current practices which resolve identified issues,
  • Investigate potential for harmonisation measures.

NaN3 can also explore other sides of the topic, if found useful in the NaN3 discussions or during the questionnaire. When further progress is made, and NaN3 finds it beneficial, NaN3 can choose to split the work into two work streams, e.g. one for AML-SMS and one for SMS generally.
