Emergency Telephone Numbers Around The World
Whilst travelling abroad it's handy to know the local emergency phone numbers. Most GSM mobile telephones will have pre - programmed emergency numbers already available for you, but for those that do not have this service or if you are using a land line, we have listed some international emergency phone numbers for several of the world's most visited locations.
Don’t forget that using your mobile abroad can be very expensive. Before travelling do check with your network provider about the cost of their roaming charges and if they have any advice to help you save on costs.
Most countries have one number for all their emergency service providers, so we have started the list with these numbers, but for those countries that have different numbers for different emergency services, we have listed their numbers by country name. Some countries emergency numbers can be accessed by one number on a mobile phone and a different number from a land line, so make sure to find out if your destination is like this and jot down both sets of numbers.
Other important numbers that may also be beneficial to jot down whilst travelling or on holiday are the phone numbers of your hotel, your travel insurance company, your credit card company and the number of your local consulate / embassy.
