Emergency Number -- 112


All people are known about emergency numbers 100,101 and 102 for police, fire and ambulance respectively. These numbers are only for India, but 112 is the world wide emergency number accepted by many countries.

From GSM mobile system if you dial 112 then that call diverted to the assigned emergency center. In India call diverted to local police station, in North America the call is diverted to 911.

112 can dial from cellular phone even when keypad is locked. When I was at Hyderabad I tried 112 from my locked Nokia device, the call was diverted to police station.

If you are out of your country and you are in trouble just dial 112.


Note :- Do not trust on Indian 100 number. When thieves attacked on me and I called 100 from my cell phone, the ring goes to some house in nearby city Yawal.

Yes, recently when I was driving my car this emergency number was dailed, I was unaware about it. As I do responded to other side they disconnected the call and called me back to check what kind emergency I am in. But when I replied no issues with sorry tone, the side asked me to share this number with my friends and family for all sort of emergency.
You knew it in 2010 and I accidentally discoved it in 2021
