Under what emergency telephone number can you call the emergency services anywhere in Europe?

The emergency telephone number 112 is valid throughout all European Union countries for reaching emergency services such as police, fire brigade, or ambulance. You can dial 112 from any phone free of charge, and it works even if you have no credit or signal from your own network, as long as any network is available. Knowing and using 112 ensures you can quickly get help wherever you are in Europe. This rule is important because other emergency numbers may only work in specific countries, but 112 is a standardized emergency number across Europe.
