Emergency Calls From Your Mobile
Many countries have a single emergency telephone number, sometimes known as the emergency services number. This allows a caller to contact local emergency services like Police, Fire, medical for assistance.
The emergency telephone number may differ from country to country. It is typically a three-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and dialed quickly.
For example:
Country AMBULANCE FIRE POLICE
Australia 112 112 112
India 102 101 100
US 911 911 911

Once a call is made to an emergency telephone number, it must be answered.
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial emergency number and the mobile will search any existing network(if your home network is not there) to establish the emergency number for you.Most GSM mobile phones can dial emergency calls even when the phone keyboard is locked, the phone is without a SIM card..
Most GSM mobile phones have 112, 999 and 911 as pre-programmed emergency numbers that are always available.Most GSM phones accept a larger list of emergency numbers without SIM card, such as 112, 911, 118, 119, 000, 110, 08, and 999. Try on our mobile these codes when keypad is locked.
Mobile phones generate additional problems for emergency operators, as many phones will allow emergency numbers to be dialed even while the keypad is locked. Since mobile phones are typically carried in pockets and small bags, the keys can easily be depressed accidentally, leading to unintended calls. A system has been developed to connect calls where the caller is sent to an automated system, leaving more operators free to handle genuine emergency calls.
