My understanding is that 000 will work, as long as there is coverage by one of the carriers.
For example if you are an Optus user, and you dont have coverage in the Gramps, as long as there is Telstra (or vodaphone etc) coverage, 000 will still work via the other network.
But if your in a spot where there is no coverage by any company, your screwed.
There is also a better emergency number to call from a mobile. I cant remember it, but its 122 or something like that. 000 may be answered in Sydney or somewhere unusual. The other number will be answered at your local Police center I think.
Anyone know more about this new number? |
