    Is it? In EU 112 is legally mandated. Did they roll back after Brexit? Either way the numbers are mostly legacy. On mobiles emergency calls are a special protocol, no number is really transmitted to the network. If the phone application recognizes a certain number it will initiate an emergency call. And quite often several numbers do it. 000, 112, 911, 999. (Admittedly it's many years I last tested it.)

      It's always been 999 in the UK. 112 works on phones too, but that wasn't because of the EU: it's part of the GSM standard.
