It can be reached by texting 741-741 from anywhere in the USA, at any time, about any type of crisis. A live, trained crisis counselor receives the text and responds quickly. There is no charge for the service.The Crisis Text Line works on all major US carriers, and most minor regional carriers. However, short codes (like 741741) are not allowed on many prepaid plans.
