Looking at the 1990 Melbourne White Pages (Area Code 03) I find that the emergency services now have individual numbers in addition to the standard 000 (US 911) "ask operator for service required" number. The numbers listed are: Fire Brigade 11441 Police 11444 Ambulance 11440 No other Australian White Page directory I have seen list numbers like these. Although not quite explictly stated, I would imagine that these numbers are free like 000. David Wilson Dept Comp Sci, Uni of Wollongong david@cs.uow.edu.au
