Have you ever dialled 999?

['Conor]

I was just wondering has anyone on here dialled 999 before, either it for the police, or an ambulance.

I always wondered what they say when they answer the phone?

[Shaun]

Yes. I can't remember it though, was a couple of years ago.

[Twilight]

Nope. :P

[Kerry]

Yep. They ask which service you require then put you through to said service. Then they ask what the emergency is

[Jack_]

Nope...thankfully not...

[Stacey.]

Yeah when I was really young. I called it like not knowing what it was, and then I left the phone just there. My mum found out a minute later or something and asked who it was, and they weren't happy.. then she explained the situation to them :L

[Josy]

Yeah and before I had even finished talking to the operater there was police and CID all over the place :o it was like something out of the bill.

['Conor]

im sure many of people have done that ha!

['Conor]

Is it true that you can access 999 via internet?

[Kerry]

I once keyed in the emergency number on my mobile. Think it's a series of 1's (some universal number I think). It was in my pocket and the keylock was off. I ended up with some emergency person yelling out of my pocket asking if I needed help and to press 9 if I did. I hung up and was mortified :shocked:

[Kerry]

Is it true that you can access 999 via internet?

I know you can access the police. Not sure for emergencies

Why? You OK?

['Conor]

I know you can access the police. Not sure for emergencies

Why? You OK?

[ILoveTRW]

Yeah, all the time, not for any reason though.

[Kerry]

112 which you can dial even with the keylock on.

And nope I never have.

['Conor]

lets say you needed the police and an ambulance what would you say?

[Kerry]

112 which you can dial even with the keylock on.

And nope I never have.

I must have done that. I was horrified. I was just walking through the park and a voice yelled out of my pocket! I thought I'd finally lost the plot!

[MTVN]

lets say you needed the police and an ambulance what would you say?

They'd ask what service you require and then you just tell them

[Kerry]

lets say you needed the police and an ambulance what would you say?

I need the police and an ambulance :D

[MTVN]

112 is the EU emergency number I think

['Conor]

well that was a stupid question :joker:

is fire brigade on 999 aswell?

['Conor]

Yeah, all the time, not for any reason though.

would you not get in trouble for that?

[MTVN]

Yeah, all the time, not for any reason though.

:laugh:

[Kerry]

They know exactly how to deal with things. For example if you asked for the fire brigade the police would come along anyway. If you need an ambulance then the responder would assess what/whoever else you need.

For example I've been assaulted and rang an ambulance. Because it was an assault the police arrived also.

[Kerry]

well that was a stupid question :joker:

is fire brigade on 999 aswell?

Yes

[Kerry]

Are you taking the widdle? You don't know whats on 999? :D

[Niamh.]

[Kerry]

Basically, life threatening sh!t - ring 999

we have both now 999 and 112, don't know why they even brought in 112 tbh 999 is alot easier, I think it was a European thing

['Conor]

i have never heard of 112 until today, suppose thats a good thing.

[Kerry]

['Conor]

[Callum]

Yes rang it before when I was in the car with my parents and a gang of boys were driving badly next to us, they had their window down and were shouting abuse because they accused my mum of driving into them when in reality they were driving all over the place. So I rang the police but they didn't treat it seriously because I didn't have the registration number of the car, I don't think they would have regardless though but to me the police should have got involved, they could have killed people with their driving.

You seriously rang the police for that? some OAP could be having a heart attack in the snow somewhere meanwhile you are complaining about a bad driver

[Novo]
