What was the dial number before 911?

Answer 1

Before 911, the phone numbers for police, fire and EMS dispatchers were all individualized, and varied from region to region. Needless to say, this caused several problems- emergency phone numbers were difficult to memorize, and the same number would not work in another region. This is why the 911 system was implemented.

Answer 2

Before 911, most cities used ordinary local numbers for emergency services.

911 is used in most parts of the USA and Canada and a few other countries. Most of Europe uses 112 as the standard emergency number. The UK and Ireland use 999. Australia uses 000.

Answer 3

921
