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.

I believe a bunch of countries do reroute 911 to the correct code if it’s dialed today.

Well, I don’t think they had the technology to do that back then. We had a party line at the time. And a phone with a rotary dial. I’m kinda old.
