Important Notes
In practice, each country may have separate numbers for different services, so check local standards before you travel.
Some countries have 112 set up so that it automatically connects from mobile phones worldwide, leading many to consider 112 as an “international emergency number.”
Emergency numbers are for true emergencies only; misuse can lead to legal consequences, so please use them responsibly.
