Failing that, one could use, for example, the existing catalogue of
Numbered Radiograms used by amateur radio operators for
communications when normal phone/internet links are not available.
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/forms/fsd3.html
So F9001 could be ARL ONE, which is "Everyone safe here. Please
don't worry."
I don't know if other less specialized catalogs of numbered phrases
might be available for use in such a system...
