Can I use my cellphone to dial 911 when traveling?

Question

Will dialing 911 when traveling divert me to my local/hometown 911 operators, or will it connect me with the nearest 911 center whereever I am?

Answer 1

It depends what country you're in, If you are in the UK, calling 911 won't get you anywhere, call 999. Different countries have different emergency numbers.

Answer 2

nearest as long as in the us and canada

Answer 3

By the way, I've heard that cell phones are supposed to reserve some energy for a 911 call, even if the battery seems dead.

Answer 4

It will conect you to the nearest 911 office, but only if you are travelling in US or Canada as other countries have different emergency numbers.

Here's a link to all the different emergency number (some countries have more than one)
