[Q] cannot dial all emergency numbers in Israel

petch04 · Apr 30, 2014

Hello. Where I live we have a different number for every emergency case, one number for the police, one for an ambulance and another one for the fire department but every time I try to call to an ambulance, my NEXUS 5 gets to the police meaning it calls 911. how do i change it from 911 to another number? (in the dialer i dial the right number but it still doesnt work) even though I dial 101 (ambulance) it calls 911 I need to change the emergency number default from 911
Device Information: Nexus 5 D821 32GB

It might be your carrier. Here are a couple links I found (it looks like the build.prop may be able to change it):

Fixed Dialing Numbers. Set up your phone to place outgoing calls only to the fixed dialing numbers (FDN) that you save on the phone's SIM

Kindly inform me if it will work good for you.
Thanks

Do you live in the United States? Calling 911 in the United States relays you to the police because that is where all calls for dispatch go and the dispatcher will decide EMS/Fire/ Police but in most cases all 3 are coming in an emergency.

From reading your post, how often do you call emergency services? Please don't be that guy that calls 911 for stupid reasons, I've sat in the comm center.

No I Don't live in the United States. As I said "Where I live we have a different number for every emergency case" and the reason that I call a lot to emergency services is because that I volunteer at the EMS in my country and as a volunteer I often need to call the command center..

112 is the common emergency telephone number that can be dialed free of charge from any fixed or mobile telephone in order to reach emergency services (ambulance, fire and rescue, police) in numerous European countries, including all member states of the European Union, as well as several other countries in the world. In some countries other numbers previously used also continue to be available; e.g. 999 and 112 both function in the UK. In the United States, some carriers, including AT&T, will map the number 112 to its emergency number 9-1-1.

I know what 112 is. Thanks though

It may help to know what country you are in... and perhaps put it in the thread title to get a better response. Could I suggest your title is changed to something like "cannot dial all emergency numbers in <country>"?

a shot in the dark (but i'm about to test it test week while in mexico with location services set to HIGH)

do you, have location / & location reporting services turned ON?

i know, it may sound like it has NOTHING to do with emergency calling, but, think on it,

how tight google has been working to make kitkat so uniformed with google now services, look up via the phone dialer, etc..

it's almost a mystery what features *location* actually have & how deep they burrow -

http://http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/356329-location-location-reporting-location-history-correct-answer-differences.html

i mean it's a shot in the dark, if your in a country other than the US (with a phone marketed by an US company) just maybe, those defaults in the phone dialer may change, with location / location reporting..

~shrugz shoulderz~

i could be right, or dead wrong..

what does it hurt.. to *try* ..

what i'd really be shocked at, is if the 911 emergency dialing is (shockingly) hard coded into the google dialer, EVEN THOUGH that nexus 5 is markerted to *the rest of the world* (Device Information: Nexus 5 D821), ither it's a terrible over-sight, or it's not hard coded at all.. (i hope not)..

it shouldn't be, that's i suspect the missing piece would be location / location services, to right what's wrong..
