What number can I call instead of 911?
Reserving 911 for serious threats to life and property is the right thing to do, and it’s the law in many parts of the United States.

How do I stop accidentally calling 112?
Do not enter the number into your phone’s memory under ‘112’. This will put the number at the top of the list of saved numbers, and as a result, you could accidentally call 112 by pressing the ‘call’ button. It’s better to simply commit this number to memory, or to write it on a sticker and put it on your mobile.
