I always wondered on the old style dial phones... How long must it have taken to call 999? Guess its no longer an emergency...

Police cars, fire engines and ambulances were slower too.
I guess it all helps to explain why more people died back then.......

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

I can assure you it took a very long time. You had to wait till the first 9 returned to 'base' before you dialled the second 9. (If you attempted before that time you ended up dialling 8). It was an amazing invention when push button landline phones came onto the market...
