Duane: Not sure where you got the info that 112 is internationalized for GSM carriers. I am in Kuwait at the moment and out of pure curiosity I dialed 112 on my GSM phone. "The number you dialed is incomplete or incorrect", gives one carrier. Tried my wife's cell which is a different carrier on GSM network. Had a friend in Bangladesh try it with the same result. I put my Toronto SIM in the phone with no result.
Clearly "112" is not internationalized on ALL GSM carriers. Best, Reza. > Reza M.
