International Telephone Dialing Information and Instructions
Dialing Information
Errors in dialing New Delhi, India may result in reaching
the Cambridge Fire and Police emergency center (911).
The country code for India is 91, and the city code for New Delhi
is 11. If you try to call New Delhi and forget to start with the
international access code of 011 or 01, you might dial 9 (to access
an outside line), then 91-11-etc. You may already see where this
is going: right to the local 911 Cambridge Fire and Police emergency
center.
In recent months, Cambridge Fire and Police have been getting
calls such as this, where people placing calls to New Delhi realize
they've misdialed, and hang up when the emergency operator answers.
A "hang up" on Cambridge Fire and Police sets the Emergency
Response in motion. Such calling errors tie up 911 lines and personnel
time, which could interfere with legitimate emergency calls.
If you mistakenly dial 9-911 and reach Cambridge Fire and Police,
do not hang up. Identify yourself as a caller from
MIT, and tell them that there is no emergency and that you have
misdialed. Wait for them to acknowledge and then hang up.
Errors in dialing Zurich, Switzerland may result in reaching
directory assistance (411).
The country code for Switzerland is 41, and the city code for Zurich
is 1. Without the preliminary 011 or 01, this combination will get
you directory assistance (411).
