What is 911 in Norway?
110: Fire. 112: Police. 113: Ambulance. By dialing 911 on cellphones, you get connected to 112, the police.
What number do I dial to reach the 911 service where I am located as I travel?
Dialing 911 automatically routes you to an emergency service center near your current location.
Did 911 come from September 11 2001?
if you're talking about the number you call when there's an emergency, obviously not. dialing 911 was around WAY before the 9/11 incident
Does police come in the night?
Police are availabe 24/7 by calling the department or dialing 911, so the answer would be yes.
Since the new thing is that you have to dial a area code before you dial a number do you have to dial your area code before dialing 911?
No, 911 is a special case. You just dial 911, even if you dial area+number or 1+area+number for other local calls.
My mother-in-law dials 911 whenever she can not get hold of my wife or her sisters. Can you block someone from dialing 911 on their land line?
Depending on your network, you can ask them to do 'call barring'. BUT one big catch to that is most networks don't allow you to block 911. Just hope for the best!
Do you have to press send while dialing 911?
It depends on the specific mobile phone. Many mobile phones (cell phones) will connect a call to 911 if you dial 911, although there may be a pause before the call goes through. Some phones will even connect you to 911 if you press and hold the 9 key. However, if you are in doubt, pressing 9-1-1-Send will always connect you to 911, anywhere in the US or Canada.
What is the purpose of 0870 number?
The 0870 number is a reference number used in local dialing systems to connect the caller to services. This is similar to 411 (directory) or 911 (emergency) calls.
What is 9 9 9 9?
If you mean 999, that's the UK version of dialing 911. Otherwise, the string has no operators and could just as easily be a 4-digit lottery number.
What percent of 911 calls are directed to the police?
This is difficult to answer, because many cities do not track the percentage of calls they receive, but anecdotal evidence says the majority of 911 calls are to either the police or the fire departments. Sadly, we hear on the news about people using 911 for other time-wasting reasons (including complaining about an order at McDonalds, in one widely reported news story); but it's safe to say most people understand 911 is supposed to be used for emergencies.
Will dialing 91 and then waiting before completing the call automatically dial 911?
Yes, I have done this mistake before. Luckily, the department called to see if everything was alright, and nobody got into any trouble.
Who wrote the song The Devil's In The Phone Booth Dialing 911?
Actually, my father Chris Normand co-wrote The Devil's in the Phone booth with Jeff Givens and later sold all rights to Walt Mills. That is the correct answer.
