  In only one direction too right? I e. you don't know if the message has been received?

    You do, you can try it with updating your find my location without an actual emergency. It tells you where to point/hold and when it's done. The emergency texting is also 2-way.

    It's two-way: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426 "Once you’re connected, your iPhone starts a text conversation with emergency responders by sharing critical information [...] You might be asked to respond to additional messages. Only Latin characters (such as English or French) are supported in these messages. [...]"
