My "quick" message for needing RV roadside service: "Need AAA. Am safe, no injuries. Separate text msg includes details, location. (AAA RV service phone # here) (my AAA member # here) Tiger Chevy RV (license plate # here)"
This is set up in my account ahead of time to minimize the chance for typing errors. Once my contact person acknowledges, I can send a message saying what type of help I need. Each message, according to my tests, includes the GPS data.
I am pleased with this product.
