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

Restrictions

Please note that this service relies on you having an active Internet connection from the device you're using. If you lose your Internet connection, have a power cut or your account is no longer active, all services including 999/112 Emergency Call services will not be available.

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

Charges

Calls to 999 and 112 Emergency Service numbers are free of charge to our end users.

Service Providers that resell or utilise our Emergency Service on behalf of end-users will be charged a call set up fee of £1.25 per call, plus £0.55/min.

Administration costs for correction of missing or invalid data

Where a query is received by TTNC from BT or the Emergency Handling Authority (EHA) for one of the following issues, TTNC will charge £20 per incidence:

Incomplete or invalid End User data submitted to the EHA.

  • A call made to 112/999 where incomplete or invalid address data has been submitted for the CLI presented.
