Make "999 CALLS" potentially more effective when you need to remain silent...or very quiet...
What do you know, or don't know, about the "55 SYTEM" and other issues that may be of vital assistance to make known the genuine nature your "999" call when you ring from a mobile 'phone and are too frightened to be heard speaking to the operator or are unable to be heard when you ring in an immediate emergency or danger? Probably, neither you nor any vulnerable relatives or friends for whom you care knows how the telephone operators are trained to try to assess the needs of genuine emergency calls.
