Countries that don't have 911 as the emergency number often have to mount campaigns telling people not to dial it.

If so, it would seem a simple solution to alias "911" to whatever foolish number their backward attempt at civilization uses.

The GSM standard mandates that 911, 112, and 999 (I believe...) be routed as emergency calls when dialed on a GSM cell phone.

I think some phones go farther and include 000, 118, and other lesser-used emergency numbers as well.
