112 and 911 abroad
112 is the single emergency number across the European Union and works in many other countries, often redirecting from mobile phones. 911 is used across North America and parts of Latin America and Asia; many phones redirect 911 and 112 automatically, but not every network does — save the local numbers before you travel.
