Calling 999 / 112 emergency services
When you dial either 999 or 112, your call is routed from the TTNC network to national emergency operators who will handle your call.
The emergency operator will ask for specific information to correctly transfer your call.
You will need to state clearly and promptly the nature of your emergency, your location and phone number, and any other requested information.
The emergency operator will then route your call to the appropriate emergency service, such as:
- Ambulance
- Police
- Fire
- Coastguard
- Mountain and Cave Rescue

We recommend that you use a fixed line or mobile phone to make calls to the emergency services whenever possible.
