@EU_Commission Fun fact: 112 Is available almost anywhere in the world (also in the US, it forwards to 911) because "112" is part of the GSM standard.

@EU_Commission
11 of February or 2 of November ?

@EU_Commission What date is 11/2 supposed to be? It is ambiguous and violates EN 28601:1992.

@EU_Commission : "0118 999 881 999 119 725 … [long pause] 3."

@EU_Commission I remember installing a new PBX system that started with #100. When test dialing, I mistakenly dialed 112 for the first and only time in my life. After apologizing, I wished we had used 911 or just kept the old number 0611 :)

@EU_Commission
I do point out that 112 is also an international emergency service number for mobile phones. 🙂

@EU_Commission unfortunately not everywhere, in many regions of Italy it is still not a universal emergency number!

@EU_Commission
also worth noting: you can typically dial 112 from mobile phones without unlocking them. If you're in an emergency, you can just grab any mobile phone in reach and dial that number instead of entering a pin.

@EU_Commission

They’re super snazzy dressers too! And look hot! When you have a real emergency and you need fashionable responders you need 112.

@EU_Commission

Well in any event it sounds like you get better response time for emergencies than the majority of citizens in large American cities:

@EU_Commission 👍

@EU_Commission Da muss ich immer an diese Episode von "The IT Crowd" denken: https://youtu.be/HWc3WY3fuZU?si 😁

@EU_Commission
101 the rather appropriate number for grassing on your neighbour (UK Police non-emergency)

@EU_Commission It's not even close to November ;)

@EU_Commission At least in Germany, the history that lead to this development is a bit tragic https://www.steiger-stiftung.de/wer-wir-sind/unsere-geschichte/50-jahre-notruf/

@EU_Commission Should be 000
