Can you help?

Isn't there an international number that you can dial in any country that will get you to emergency services? What is the Spanidsh 999 phone number? Is the Spainish number 112?

Hi There, When I lived in Spain the Police emergency number was 091 and I don't think this has changed.

112 is a pan european number. you can use it in any EU countries.

I heard last night that if you dial 112 on a mobile phone, it will roam to the nearest provider, so it works if you are out of range of your own cell. Also, the emergency service can locate the phones position, and relay it to the ambulance, or whatever, for input in their GPS gear.

Reassuring or what? (!!!)

don't think there's any truth in the first point!




yes, we can tell roughly where a phone is. not much use in a built up area though!
