Talk:Emergency telephone number

Combining material
Information on the Emergency services number is duplicated here. Perhaps the best title is (Universal) Emergency telephone number, as that is what 9-1-1 is called, and most similar numbers in other countries are called also called an Emergency Telephone Number. If everything gets collected here, under one name it would save duplication. Any Thoughts? kiwiinapanic 12:36 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC) Reviewed kiwiinapanic 09:22 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)
Additional topics to be covered:
- mention telephony as essential service
- mobile phones have made emergency reporting more pervasive
- treatment of silent emergency calls
- Copied the above from a longer list on the page. I've filled in the information which was in bullet form at the bottom of the page, and also under that 'Addition topics to be covered' header. Stick in the above if you can fit it somewhere. As it is, Configuration and Operation section is a tad unwieldy - could be improved!

GSM in the US using 112?
- For example, some people have reported that 112 works on GSM networks in the United States.
This is an extremely weak statement, either 112 works on a particular GSM network in the States, or it doesn't. Could anyone give specific examples? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 08:48, 24 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I agree. I'm pretty sure that 112 as an emergency number is standard for all GSM networks, even in US, but this needs confirmed I guess!

- And, it should go without saying, DON'T try it to see if it works.

World common emergency number
Is there any United Nations or similar international authority or treat for a common world number? I could suggest 9112.
