Have you ever dialled 999?
 

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?

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

Nope. :P

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

Nope...thankfully not...

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

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.

im sure many of people have done that ha!

Is it true that you can access 999 via internet?

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:

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

Why? You OK?

oh im fine :joker: i was just wondering, Sydney did it in Scream and was just wondering if you could do it, dont no how it works though.

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

Oh ok, good :)

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

112 which you can dial even with the keylock on.

And nope I never have.

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

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!

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

I need the police and an ambulance :D

112 is the EU emergency number I think

well that was a stupid question :joker:

is fire brigade on 999 aswell?

would you not get in trouble for that?

:laugh:

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.
