'999' Number Getting Changed

[mike475]

I just seen on a website that the 999 emergency services number is getting changed to '0118 999 88199 9119 725 3'

The site is www.01189998819991197253.co.uk (http://www.01189998819991197253.co.uk/)

The people have put there TV advert on there!!

[mangle]

Erm

I dont believe it?

[Dj_dude007]

Sorry but that is a load of bull.

[mangle]

Sorry but that is a load of bull.
Couldnt agree more:p

[benjamin]

lmao, as if.

[RedStratocas]

Doubt they would ever change emergency numbers. Old people call those numbers quite a lot, and they dont keep up with the news or remember changes that easily, that would cause a major problem.

[PaintYourTarget]

Did anyone actually watch the vid before taking this thread seriously?

[MADNESS!]

pmsl



From now on dialing 999 wont get you the emergency services, and that's not the only thing that's changing.
- Nicer ambulances
- Faster response times
- And better looking drivers

Were not the emergency services, were your emergency services.



Please do not send hoax emails, as they waste our message limit in our inbox.



lol@that

[gosling]

[samsaBEAR]

The IT Crowd?

[splatttt]

I dont belive that either. How would people remember it in an emergency?

[Callum.]

Wasn't that from that TV program, the one with the people in the IT department, I forget the name now...

the office or it crowd?

[mike475]

Theres links on there to email the police, fire service, or ambulance service incase you forget the number.

[:Hazel]

Why post crap?

[cocaine]

lmao at it

[Andeeh]

Wasn't that from that TV program, the one with the people in the IT department, I forget the name now...
Hmm Wouldnt They Want A Simple Number If There In A Emergency LOL...

I Think There Lying :P

[mike475]

No - I emailed the police 5 minutes ago with some made up story about my lost dog. And they knocked on my door saying 'not to waste our message inbox limits and hoax call/email outs'

[splatttt]

" omg get me the phone im Dying, i need an ambulance" oh crap what was that 20 digit number again?"

>.<

[ReviewDude]

I remember that from a sketch show... Not the IT Crowd but something similar. It was funny :P And officially the number's pronounced:

0118 999 88199 9119 725 [Pause] 3

EDIT: Yep, IT Crowd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbYK1eLPdIc&eurl=

[Casanova]

I HEARD THAT TOO!

No, urm... it's 999 basically because in problems like... visual discrepancies (fires) and loss of sight, blindness etc, you go 3 down 3 along and it's 3 taps. 999

[DCeption]

Lol at people taking it seriously :P

[exploit]

who would remember that number? and lol at the email system, say you were having a heart attack, give us a mail!

[DJ-Ali]

Lol. The show was funny. Thread-starter taking it seriously lmao.

[Racoon]

Every-one is like " OMGzzzz!!!! I TINKS ITZ FAKEZ!!! " LMAO! Its a joke people. From IT Crowd.

[-Sweex]

dont think so as they wont change it to something aslong as that.

[Neversoft]

Doubt it.

[You]

I told my dad, be believes it, rofl :8

[Herman]

I doubt anyone could remember such a long number in times of emergency.

[brandon]

[Bielby2ooo]

Every-one is like " OMGzzzz!!!! I TINKS ITZ FAKEZ!!! " LMAO! Its a joke people. From IT Crowd.

Thanks you


You will see this on your TV screens, soon. (Possibly never.)

Haha that made me laugh

0118999881999119725 3

Goood show :P

[mike475]

So there... the new number is real!! Get ready for the change!!

[Axel]

Unless you actually thought this was true, shouldn't this be on Videos etc section? It's from the I.T. crowd, great programme. :)

[Leum]

That is fake. If it was true, which it wouldn't be as '999' is accessible then it would be on a government website.

[mike475]

Well the Goverment's only trying to fit in.. Anyway, they have a guestbook now! Im just about to sign it!

[e5]

plus they would have the site with number i it, oone would rememrber it is it to stop loads calling in, what if someone is really hurt, yej dnt belbuie u

bet u doing it to make ppl get in to trouble with da police

soz but saddo xxx

Edited by Dan (Super Moderator): Please do not avoid the filter, Thanks.

[mike475]

No - I heard it was made to stop babies accidently dialing 999. So they made it a small bit longer.

[Andeeh]

I told my dad, be believes it, rofl :8

Lmao Does He Really ? If So He Is V Gullible Yep It Is From The It Crowd...

[^.^]

the site was cheaply made its obviously a site made by some noob that thought it would be funny...

[Mentor]

The video wont load :( crapy youtube

[Kymux]

[louder]

that's crap.
why would they change an emergency number to something nobody can remember?

[Mentor]

The people have put there TV advert on there!!

if noone has noticed the advert is the it crowd.

u honestly think thats a real site lol.
its a prank.


lol
"999. Three simple digits.
Easily mistyped.
Hard to remember.

The change is being made simply because to many people are accidentally dialing it. This is putting more lives at risk because genuine callers can't get through. Also, is the fact that it is pretty hard to remember, hency why there is the new number.

With the new number, it is a tiny bit longer, so it wont be misdialed. "


who did the mega bump lol

[cocaine]

This was funny.... two years ago.

what? it was 11 months ago :S

[Mentor]

Cant belive it took people so long to realise its a gag site with a clip from the it crowd in it. Good advert tho none the less.

[Josh-H]

Lol, its from the IT crowd. This should be in spam section really.

[Smits]

josh-h why bump this we all already know that.

[Adam$]

Rofl at everyone actually taking it seriously.

[Judge Judy]

Theres links on there to email the police, fire service, or ambulance service incase you forget the number.

yeah sure everyone has a PDA or blackberry around town just to email them
if theyre forever doomed*+*+*+*+*+

EDIT: Yeah I just realised there was a major bump :S

[sock]

Just about to say - Under Why? it says better looking drivers, but people have posted it. Lol. Also the website's images on homepage are like pixelated if you know what I mean, most likely from google. Who actually misdials 999 anyway its not like anyones number just has 3 digits lol.
