EENA, the European Emergency Number Association, was set up in 1999 as a non-profit association registered in Belgium to serve as a neutral discussion platform for emergency services, industry and informed citizens with the aim of getting efficient, interoperable and harmonised emergency telecommunications in accordance with citizens' requirements. EENA has been advocating to authorities the issues related to the 112 as there are more and more EU citizens travelling for business or leisure. EENA is also promoting the establishment of a general, pan-European, multilingual, simplified and efficient system for alerting citizens about imminent or developing emergencies.
However i not tried it myself, but there is info out there how it works.:Mobile:

aaronabbott thing with unmarked cars steve is that most of them carry guns and even better tazershock:
They can only use them IF there is just cause, and have authorisation from the commanding officer.

You do *not* have to stop for an ununiformed police officer. But if a *uniformed* officer is an unmarked car, then you do have to stop for him.

04-06-2016, 03:44 AM #13It is a myth I'm afraid. Yes, 112 is a number that they've been trying to get going on home phones and stuff, but it's nothing to do with working when there is no signal (how would that work ?).

As you've already found 112 is basically the number they are trying to standardise on all across Europe for emergency services.
However, the bit about the 112 being able to be contacted when 999 isn't is false. They're essentially both routed to the same destination, and calls to these numbers can be routed via any available cell even if you don't have roaming priveleges onto that cell. For example you're a Vodafone customer but there's only a T-Mobile or o2 cell with service, the call would be routed via that cell with higher priority even than native users of that network.
However - if you're completely out of signal from all transmitters then obviously you're ****ed (possibly quite literally in the case of this story!)
It's been around for years now, first time I ever noticed it was when pissing about with phones when they're locked as if you try entering 112 or 999 on any locked SonyEriccson or Nokia phone you'll see that it lets you dial the numbers and hit ring even while the lock is in place...
It's half true.
