Frequently asked questions

What is the emergency number in Europe?

112. It works free of charge in every EU country, from landlines and mobiles, and connects you to ambulance, police and fire services. Many countries keep their national numbers too.

Does 112 work outside Europe?

Often, but not everywhere. Many mobile networks redirect 112 to the local emergency service, and some countries (such as India) use 112 officially. It is worth looking up the local number for the country you are in.

What number do I call for an ambulance in Italy?

112 or 118. Italy is moving all regions to the single 112 number; where it is active, 118 is routed to it. Both are free, also from a mobile.
