minus-square@thenextguylinkEnglish4•edit-22 months agoWhen 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.”
