Emergency numbers and bilingual card

If someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services as soon as it is safe. State the location first. Anti scam and tourist lines do not replace emergency dispatch.

Dial inside the destination, without a country code. Check voice access with your provider; data only eSIMs, roaming, internet calls and SMS can have limits. Do not test emergency lines. Keep a voice capable phone or staffed help point available. European direct numbers and city details are in chapter 29. [S68] [S72] [S73] [S20] [S25] [S28] [S29] [S33] [S37] [S41] [S44] [S48] [S53]
