When you ask Siri to set an alarm and he dials 112.

Siri determined that you need to be investigated by the authorities!

My job let me pick the type of headset I use at work. They work so well, I started just leaving them on my head for my commute to/from work. I was super excited to find the buttons that skipped to the next song (I've been wearing these things for a year and just discovered this). I pressed them in a weird way, and the song stopped, and it dialed a number. I took my sweet time getting out my phone to see who it called and it was 911. It was a freak out moment for me. And I still don't know what I pressed.

My work phone requires us to dial 9 first for an outside number and I don’t know what I did but I wasn’t paying attention and accidentally called 911. It got me thinking now I don’t know if I need to dial 9 first for that or not?

Ugh is that your emergency response number? Did they accept your explanation? As gar said, it’s the emergency number in Europe. I didn’t even know that! I’d gone to bed as I was falling asleep on my feet and needed a nap. I yelled to Siri to set an alarm as I often do and have never had an issue in the past. The next thing I knew, I could hear a voice but not clearly as I didn't gave my hearing aids in and I could see the display had changed and there was a big red button but I couldn’t see anything else as I didn’t have my glasses on! (Growing old sucks). I whacked the button, thinking I didn’t want to speak to anyone and settled down to rest. I couldn’t sleep for wondering who it was , though, so I put my glasses on and saw from recent calls that it was 112 which I had to Google. I was horrified and couldn’t sleep after THAT because I imagined emergency services turning up at the door, having tracked me by gps on my phone. All very silly but I was befuddled with tiredness. Thankfully no one showed nor called me back nor texted (Google said there might be a text regarding mis-use of the number). I expect they must get many miscalls but I don’t think I’ll be using the word alarm when I talk to Siri in future. |

Trying to think where I heard this... security dept at one of my kids’ college. If you accidentally call, they call you back AND show up where you are just to make sure you aren’t being forced to say it was an accidental call. |

When you ask Siri to set an alarm and he dials 112. I realize that was very frustrating for you. But, I think it’s actually near genius to sense an emergency and call for help. |

It got me thinking now I don’t know if I need to dial 9 first for that or not? Many years ago I did the same thing, hit 9, then 1 (twice I guess). They answered 911 what is your emergency. I told them it was a mistake and also told my manager in case something came of it. They did call her and she confirmed it was an error and that everything was fine. That was about 30 years ago. |

We actually changed it to dial 8 first after several accidental 911 calls. They call back to the receptionist to see if it was real...and also pay us a visit. |

I worked in Kansas city years ago. Half the planet doesn't know that Kansas City is in Missouri, but part of it is in Kansas. KCK area code is 913. I had a phone that the 1 would stick.
You can see where this is going. lol.
Also, Once I had to fax something to the KCK side of town and I punched in the wrong number. 9113-blahblah. The fax machine kept calling 911 over and over and over. They weren't too happy with me.

I think this calls for the plain English brigade gillyp Next time I would tell her "please wake me at 7 am Siri " Poor thing she obviously only knows one meaning of alarm  |

Trying to think where I heard this... security dept at one of my kids’ college. If you accidentally call, they call you back AND show up where you are just to make sure you aren’t being forced to say it was an accidental call. this happened to us at the cottage about 10 yrs ago. YS was a toddler and i was doing the dishes, didn't realize he was playing with rotary phone. i went over and hung it up and distracted him with something else. phone rang immediately - it was the 911 dispatcher saying they had a call from this number. i explained it was my son and they said they had to send someone anyway to ensure i was not in a dangerous situation and being forced to say that. we were about 40 mins out of town so i said i understood... but seems like a waste of resources?? she said it was policy.... so i suggested she tell the officer to take his time and sirens not required! cop showed up about an hour later... we apologized and he said it happens. he was quite lovely, hung out for a bit on the dock and enjoyed the lake view, climbed back in his car and headed back to town to the station.  just grateful we weren't fined.... |
