AnonyMouse_3139 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi, just been on a first aid course and found out something non of us knew. If you need to dial for an ambulance or other emergency from a mobile phone apparently 112 gets you to the closest transmitter, 999 gets you to the closest transmitter for your network, which in the tutors experience can put a call through to a service 100 miles away. Not something I can test but thought I'd share it with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Thanks Rea, Lets hope we never have to use it ( Your deputy didn't need emergency services after your "rant" tonight, did she ) It also helps to; 1. Have your mobile with you ( mines never with me) 2. Turn it on 3. Charge it up Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 That's a very useful piece of info Rea. Thanks! Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Keep a spare charger at work you can still use a mobile phone while charging. The information about 112 is contained in your BT phone book at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_2732 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 But, Believe me, if you're at base, 999 works really well !! A user! Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
