112 is the international emergency number on ALL mobile phones.
always works even if there is no SIM. Even if its asking for a PIN,
dial 112 and get emergency services. It is part of the GSM standards.
All mobile carriers are forced to honour it. They just dont bother
to tell anyone about it.
Very handy if there is an accident... pick up anyones mobile and
hit 112 then send (green button)
Feel free NOT to test it... you will get a fine for being a dickhead if
there is no emergency.
Here is an odd test... I took the SIM out of my phone and it
says "INSERT SIM". If you press any button it dones nothing...
BUT... press 112, and it shows on the display... just don't press
SEND.
Even if the handset is locked... press 112... just DONT press SEND.
