Description
It would be beneficial to have an option to send an SOS text message/e-mail to multiple people either by selecting the option in the MT menu, or by using a hot key, whichever works better. GPSed has this option if you would like to reference it, but it only allows to send to one person, not too helpful if I am with that person at the time.

SOS features I have thought about: For discussion. (list is rambling of thoughts and may not make sense)
Configure send to from MT Options on phone, allowing access to address book for easy setup.
Program senders name (give option to pull from BB owner info, if possible)
Minimum of two recipients, 5 would be ideal (maybe start with one field include a menu option to add additional recipients instead of having 5 static fields, kinda like how BB contacts handles multiple e-mail address for each contact)
Send message via e-mail or sms (auto-determined depending on recipient's address? or have e-mail or sms bullet option when adding recipient's address)
Ability to program default SOS message that will be sent, include an initial default message for the uncreative folk.
Initiate SOS from phone:
Not sure of best way to initiate SOS transmition, whether by menu choice. BB shortcut, or hot key, to pull up the SOS send dialog, Hot key (Alt+shift+S?) would be great if possible;
Dialog should have the ability to edit the message or use default (default message set in MT options) option to choose intended recipients via check boxes, with "all recipients" being an option.
Give checkbox for Fire, Ambulance, and Police so recipient has basic idea of emergency type they can give to 911
These are my thoughts from the past hour and I am leaving work now. I will think more about how I envision this working and post any new thoughts. Keep in mind that I am not a programmer so I do not what the limits are. I acknowledge some of this may be a dream and hard/impossible to implement.
