192 used to be directory services but they changed it to 118, and then a bunch of copy cats used 118 as a prefix for all kinds of unofficial stuff. Plus 999 and 112 in the UK are still very iffy depending on where you are.

When I was a kid, I used to dial 911 all the time. Because all you’d get was a recording.
“The 9 1 1 emergency number is not in effect in the area where you are. If this is an actual emergency please hang up and dial your local emergency responder.”

I love how they are not even considering redirecting to the correct number. Nope, you’ve got to learn the culture or die.
