-as of [2 MARCH 2024]–
.
.
-in many countries the “public switched telephone network” has a single emergency telephone number (sometimes known as the universal emergency telephone number or the emergency services number) that allows a caller to contact ‘local emergency services’ for ‘assistance’-
.
(the emergency number differs from country to country; it is typically a t-digit number so that it can be easily remembered and dialed quickly)
(some countries have a different ’emergency number’ for each of the different ’emergency services’)
(these often differ only by the last digit)
