How to call the police from a mobile phone. And to other emergency rescue and assistance services.
Unforeseen situations do not choose the time, object or place of occurrence: anyone can get into a difficult situation. Confusion and panic become an obstacle to adequate actions. Calm down, assess the circumstances soberly, and if necessary, seek emergency help. At such moments, you rarely have a landline phone at hand, and the age of technology has accustomed us to cellular communications. Therefore, the question of how to call the police from a mobile phone becomes relevant and important for life. To avoid hastily remembering the number you need, save it in your phone first.
What if the number to call from your mobile phone doesn't work?
There are situations when dialing one of the numbers fails to establish a connection or the dispatcher simply does not respond. How, in this case, can you call an ambulance and other authorities from your mobile phone?
If when you dial the number of the service you are interested in you cannot get through, which completely ruins all your hopes, then it makes sense to dial one of the above-mentioned existing regional numbers. It is highly desirable to have such numbers in your phone book, so take care of this in advance.
In addition, you should in any case remember that even private healthcare organizations that provide security services have a database of short numbers used by people in critical cases.
How to call the police from a mobile phone
More than a year ago, the planned process of a long, phased formation of a common emergency call service began on the territory of the Russian Federation. Within five years, it is planned to create an emergency response system with a single call number from both landline and mobile numbers. The three-digit encoding system will replace the two-digit ones familiar from childhood: 01, 02, etc.
If you or others need urgent police assistance, a call from a mobile phone will save the situation. The combination of numbers you need depends on your cellular service provider and varies among different operators. To avoid confusion, find out and save in your mobile device the contacts of the police, ambulance, and Ministry of Emergency Situations, which the company servicing your tariff package provides for free emergency calls.
Let's consider cases of how to call the police from a mobile phone under certain circumstances:
- There is no money in the account. The cost of such calls is zero, so a zero or negative account balance will not be a hindrance in this case. Dial the required combination, and the company servicing your phone will immediately connect you with the “hotline” or the police department on duty in your city.
- If the SIM card is blocked or lost and the mobile phone is working, dial the single emergency number 112 through your telecom operator.
- If the subscriber is outside the network coverage area, such calls are made through any available cellular operators, who urgently perform the required call forwarding of the subscriber.
Emergency call 112
The introduction of a “Unified Emergency Services Number” will help improve the efficiency of interaction between emergency services and the speed of response to calls. This service is already operating in three regions of the Russian Federation, and trial (pilot) projects have been launched in several more. Experts note a 25-35% increase in the efficiency of joint activities of doctors, firefighters, and police.
How to call the police from your mobile phone through the unified emergency call system? Companies providing mobile communication services were among the first to switch to providing this service. The combination of numbers “one-one-two” is the emergency number. By dialing 112 and then pressing the Call button, you will be taken to the voice menu. To automatically connect to the police department, you must press the button with the number 2. The call is serviced free of charge in European countries (in roaming), as well as anywhere in Russia.
After connecting with the police officer on duty, you will be asked questions to clarify the details of the situation. Try to answer them accurately and clearly in a clear voice. State your details clearly, then briefly describe the circumstances of the incident. Try to indicate as accurately as possible the location of the event where the immediate presence of police officers is required.
Rescue 911
Famous from American TV series, books and Hollywood films, the unified 911 rescue service has been providing assistance to Americans in trouble for more than half a century. A convenient, easy-to-remember number, the ability to send representatives of different departments at the same time if necessary, and the constant expansion of the scope of services provided have earned universal popularity.
In the Russian Federation, a similar project is being developed and gradually implemented: Unified Rescue Service 112. Operators will provide services in four languages: Russian, English, German, French. It is planned to gradually expand language functions, taking into account territorial characteristics. For example, in the Far East, Chinese will be added to the list.

How to dial an ambulance number from a cell phone - popular operators
Each mobile operator has its own short dialing codes. They are still in effect in regions where the transition to uniform recruitment standards has not been made. Calls to them are absolutely free.
Megaphone
If you have a megaphone and cannot reach 103 for medical help, dial 030. Simply enter these three numbers on your phone's keypad and press the call button. The call for Megafon subscribers will be made even if there is no money in the account.
Beeline
The Beeline company uses 003 to call for medical help. Just add another zero at the beginning and press the call key. The call is not charged, therefore, if necessary, Beeline users can use this number even with a zero balance.
MTS subscribers can use the new dialing rules and call an ambulance by dialing 103 on the keypad. For convenience, the old dialing mode also works. Therefore, if problems arise, you can make an emergency call from MTS at 030.
Motive
The mobile operator MOTIV switched to a new standard for dialing emergency services from December 27. For clients of this company, it is possible to dial 103, and for convenience, the previous rules have been retained - you can call an ambulance using 903.

Detailed instructions for calling an ambulance in Moscow
Before calling an ambulance, you should make sure that you can accurately indicate the location of the injured person. Therefore, you should clarify the street name, building and apartment number (if necessary). This point is very important, as it allows doctors to save valuable time for the health, and sometimes the life of the patient. Call the ambulance yourself. In Moscow, as throughout Russia, there is a single telephone combination of numbers - “03”. If the call is from a mobile phone, then you should dial the combination “003” for a Beeline cellular phone; “030” for users of the MTS and Megafon networks. It is also possible to dial a multi-line telephone “112”. This number works even if there is insufficient funds on the phone. When there is a need for specialized medical specialists, it is recommended to call the police, having first informed the police about the victim’s complaints. In this case, the police themselves are responsible for calling doctors and ambulances. If possible, first review in your head the information that you are going to report to the emergency dispatcher. They will ask you a series of simple and important questions regarding the patient’s age, his complaints, address, telephone number to contact if the need arises. Although the questions are completely primitive, for an unprepared person who has experienced the shock of what happened, a state of general confusion may occur
Therefore, trying to calm down and collect your thoughts is very important, as this will allow you to answer questions clearly and clearly, without being distracted by unnecessary exclamations and reasoning. For example, for a person who suddenly cannot step on his foot, the dispatcher should say exactly that: “he cannot step on his right/left foot.”
The information must be as accurate and specific as possible, since the speed of assistance provided by the emergency medical team depends on this factor. In cases where the accident occurred in a remote area, it is recommended, if possible, to meet the ambulance halfway, which in turn will allow doctors to reach the victim much faster and provide the necessary professional assistance.
Rules for calling a doctor
There are times when a person gets sick, but he does not have the opportunity to visit the clinic due to his health condition. For this case, you can call a local doctor to your home, who comes out on weekdays. As for specialized specialists, they can only be called to your home from a private medical organization. In this case, a specialist will provide the necessary qualified assistance on any day.

All ways to call an ambulance
In the event of a life-threatening emergency, you can contact an ambulance in two ways:
- Standard option.
The classic number 903 for the MOTIV operator is included in the official set of emergency services that should be used in case of a threat to life (additional numbers are listed on the operator’s page: “Fire” - 901, “Police” - 902, “GORGAZ” - 904, Rescue Service “SOVA” " - 911). Calls to such directions are free. - A universal option.
Calling 112 is also free and available from SIM cards of operators in the Russian Federation and some European countries (Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein). After the call, you will need to select the direction to contact using a physical or touch keyboard, where the “troika” is responsible for communicating with emergency dispatchers.
The main rule when contacting emergency services is not to panic. It is important to clearly, and sometimes syllable by syllable, state the address and age of both the person who needs help and the one with whom dispatchers are communicating.
Additionally, it is worth indicating what kind of medical support is needed - emergency, when minutes count, or emergency, when the situation is far from critical (here it is important not to engage in diagnostics based on personal assumptions or ideas and not to shout at employees, but to clearly name the symptoms and describe actions that led to these consequences).
Short number to call
In a life-threatening situation, there is rarely access to a landline telephone. Therefore, the standard 01, 02, 03 will not help, because these are two-digit numbers and are not suitable for GSM. Below are three-digit combinations of numbers that can be used to call the necessary emergency services from your mobile device.
It’s easy to remember them, because the caller needs to add the number 1 before the usual number:
- to contact the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia you need to dial 101;
- to connect with the police, use the combination of numbers 102;
- You can call an ambulance by dialing 103;
- To contact the gas service, call 104.
It is possible to make a call to these numbers both from MTS and using SIM cards from other cellular operators.
When is an emergency call required to get a doctor to your home?
The arrival of specialists from the clinic should be used when the patient does not have the opportunity to independently go to a medical facility. In most cases, this is due to the illness of minors, when a call to a children's local doctor is urgently required.
You should also not leave the house if there is a risk of infecting other people (with symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, for example), especially during periods of exacerbation of infectious diseases.
If the patient’s symptoms do not pose a threat to life, but do not allow him to go to the clinic, then at the all-Russian level you can make an appointment with a doctor, for example, an ENT specialist, online using the single State Services website.
How to call an ambulance from a mobile phone
Often we don't remember how to call an ambulance from our mobile phone. And therefore, it is better to take care of obtaining this information in advance than to look for these treasured numbers on the Internet at a critical moment. It is best to write down the ambulance number in the phone book so that you always have it “at hand”. Each operator provides its own short telephone number for an emergency call to an ambulance and it is free for you. Therefore, we will provide phone numbers for each operator:
- Megafon – 103
- MTS – 103
- Beeline – 103
- Tele2 – 103
As you can see, the numbers are based on the number "03", which we all know well. A 1 has been added to it, thanks to which numbers can be easily dialed on any mobile phone (many handsets recognize two-digit numbers as commands, preventing dialing).
Bottom line
A cell phone is not only a useful gadget. This is a mobile communication tool that is always with you. If someone around you urgently needs medical help, you can call it through your cell phone. This service is free for subscribers of Russian mobile operators. Even if you do not have money in your account, the operator will give you the opportunity to make a call.
Not long ago, each mobile operator used its own specific dialing for emergency calls. This was inconvenient, a lot of confusion arose, and it was difficult for subscribers to remember the basic ambulance number.
Today, the transition to uniform standards for recruiting emergency services is almost complete. This made it possible to use uniform sets for subscribers of all operators. For convenience, many of them have retained the old dial numbers. But if you have completely forgotten how to call an ambulance from your cell phone, dial the universal emergency number 112, where they will definitely help you.
You can call an ambulance from your mobile using a single number for all telecom operators
The banality and simplicity of this reason is obvious - many people simply do not have the slightest idea how to call an ambulance, police or firefighters from a mobile phone.
Where to call in an emergency
Call 112 can be made not only in Russia, but also in the EU countries. The signal is sent to the system of the operator whose subscriber made the call. If the line fails, the call is transferred to other mobile operators.
List of telephone numbers for calling emergency services.
There are several ways to call the police (formerly the police) from a mobile phone:
- You can dial the number combination 102 (the call is allowed for all operators).
- Add 0 to the usual 02 and call the police using the resulting three-digit code 020 (for clients of MTS, Tele2, Megafon, Rostelecom and Motiv).
- Call the universal number 112 and select code 2.
The main number for calling the police from a mobile phone is 102. The owner of the device just needs to enter these numbers and press the call button. However, if for some reason you cannot contact the police at the specified number, there are alternative options.
It is recommended to call 112 if:
- assistance from several emergency services is required;
- in a situation of stress, a person is confused and cannot figure out which service he needs to call.
IMPORTANT! The owner of a mobile phone can use an emergency call even if there is no money in the account or there is no SIM card in the device. You should contact emergency services by telephone only if you have become a participant or witness to a situation that has resulted in a danger to the health and life of people or the safety of property
You should contact emergency services by telephone only if you have become a participant or witness to a situation that has resulted in a danger to the health and life of people or the safety of property.
In other words, any criminal activity is grounds for calling the police.
Each appeal that contains information about a crime or administrative offense is accepted by the officer on duty, recorded in the Book of Applications and Reports of Crimes, and then immediately transferred to the operational response department.
After receiving a complaint, police officers are required to:
- arrive at the scene of the incident as soon as possible;
- stop criminal activities;
- eliminate all existing threats to the health and life of citizens;
- document all the circumstances of the incident, crime or offense;
- ensure the safety of traces and evidence of the crime;
- take other measures within the framework of current legislation.
To call the police, you must dial a three-digit number. Moreover, each operator can have its own: “003”, “030” and even “903”. Differences in the set of numbers cause confusion. Therefore, you should find out the police number in advance when calling from a specific operator’s phone.
- 010 - Ministry of Emergency Situations.
- 020 - police number.
- 030 - ambulance.
- 040 - emergency gas service.
U-Tel and BEELINE
Older devices support fast numbers. To call emergency services, add a symbol (*) after the phone number:
- 101* - call the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
- 102* - call the police.
- 103* - call an ambulance.
- 104* - call emergency gas service.
What should I tell the dispatcher when calling the clinic?
A call to medical services should not take more than 5 minutes. During this time the subscriber must:
- State the cause of concern . It is recommended to describe the symptom of the disease in as much detail as possible, to clarify for whom help is required, for example, when providing treatment to a child, it is necessary to call a pediatrician.
- Introduce yourself and give the patient’s name and age.
- Provide the exact address . It does not matter which clinic the patient is assigned to: according to the law, in the event of an ambulance call, the client will use the services of a medical team at his place of residence (for example, from clinic 170, and not at the request of a citizen from the Eastern Administrative District).
- Leave a contact number.
The more accurate the information about the disease and residential address, the faster assistance will be provided. Citizens can reach operators in Moscow using emergency numbers even if they have a negative balance on their mobile phone . If the line is busy, the subscriber will have to wait 2-3 minutes (the answering machine will inform you about the need to stay in touch).
How to call the police from a mobile phone - phone numbers for different operators and countries
The need to call the police usually happens suddenly. Strangers are breaking into the apartment. You are being pursued by mysterious people with clearly bad intentions. A bag was snatched from your hands or from a passerby nearby. There are suspicious people near your car, looking inside. You can rarely predict when and how you will need the police.
Changes have recently affected law enforcement agencies as well. Everywhere they take place differently: in Russia, for example, the police were completely reformed into police, Ukraine is creating a police force parallel to the existing police. Calling methods are also changing: the good old “02” cannot be dialed from a mobile phone.
However, there is some good news. You can still call law enforcement officers from your mobile phone. True, you will need a three-digit number, but it’s still not difficult. True, you will have to learn some paradoxical things. That you can make calls without a SIM card at all. That the numbers may differ for different operators. And so on.
Questions and answers about calling the police from a cell phone
- Is money debited from my account when I call the police?
- No, all operators provide free calls to the police. Other emergency services can also be dialed without charge.
- What if I have a zero balance?
- Even if you have a debt on your account, this will not hinder you. After all, you are calling the emergency service, and this is a special case.
- How to make a call if your smartphone does not have a SIM card?
- Then dial the single emergency number - 112. Your call will be accepted by the operator who will be the first to record it. You will be connected to a single call center that will connect you with the required service. Moreover, based on which base stations received your signal, law enforcement will detect your location.
I don't have a SIM card, but I have Wi-Fi and Skype or Viber. Can I call the police on him? Alas. Internet telephony services are not intended for calling emergency services
It doesn’t matter if it’s Skype, Whatsapp, Viber, Tango, Telegram – it won’t work. The only exception is a call to a specific city department number through a paid external calling system
But it’s hard to imagine a situation where this is more convenient than dialing a short number.
- Does the calling method depend on what phone I have?
- No, only from your operator.
- Will the police soon respond to such a call?
- As when calling from a landline phone: it depends on whether the outfit is ready and how far from the site you are. If you are somewhere nearby, you are lucky. No - you'll have to wait, unfortunately.
Mobile police call numbers for different countries
If you travel frequently, you may need to call law enforcement anywhere - both at home and abroad. It’s not that hard to remember how to call the police from your mobile number in your city. What if you became a witness, much less a victim, of an attack somewhere abroad? It’s not always possible to ask passers-by – sometimes they’re simply not around, or the language barrier gets in the way.
We provide a table of numbers for some countries that we found most relevant.
- Russia – 002 (Beeline), 020 (Megafon, Tele 2, Rostelecom), 102 (MTS, Motive), 112 (general rescue service number), 102 (universal police call number)
- Ukraine, Belarus – 102, 112 (common for all emergency services)
- Bulgaria – 166
- Moldova – 902
- Poland – 997
- Czech Republic – 158
- Croatia – 192
- Montenegro – 122
- France, Spain, other EU countries – 112 (single number for all emergency services)
- Georgia - 121
- Türkiye – 155, 112 (single number)
- Egypt – 122, 446-765 (tourist police)
- Thailand – 191, 1155 (tourist police)
- Israel - 100
- USA – 911 (single number for all emergency services)
- Japan, South Korea – 119 (easy to remember: 911 backwards)
All these numbers are universal; you can call them from mobile and landline devices.
It’s good if you know English at least within everyday limits: this will make it much easier for you to describe your problem, wherever you are, and at the other end of the phone you will be more likely to be understood.
We hope you don't have to follow these instructions. But it’s better to be prepared for troubles, then they won’t be so destructive for you.
Questions from subscribers
Is it possible to call with a zero balance?
You can contact an ambulance at 903 without funds in your subscriber account. The only limitation is roaming. If the balance is negative, communication will be impossible.
Therefore, it is worth taking an alternative route and calling the universal number 112, which is available without money, and even without a SIM card in the corresponding tray of a smartphone or tablet.
Is it possible to call the SP for consultation?
