Hello, I'm an expert in emergency services and telecommunications. When you dial 112, you are connecting to the emergency services in many countries across Europe and some other parts of the world. Here's what typically happens:


1. Your call is connected to the nearest emergency call center automatically, without the need to enter any additional numbers.

2. Location identification: Modern smartphones often send your location to the emergency services when you dial 112, which can be crucial for a quick response.

3. Emergency response: The operator will ask for your emergency and location. It's important to speak clearly and calmly.

4. Dispatch of emergency services: Depending on the nature of the emergency, the operator will dispatch the appropriate emergency services, such as police, fire, or medical assistance.

Remember, 112 is for emergencies only. Misuse of the emergency number can delay help for those who truly need it.
