Sources & coverage notes

Sources reviewed 12 October 2026. ITU lists the seven short codes; this does not confirm service everywhere or at all hours. Other official directories differ on fire and violence-support numbers. This catalog follows ITU assignments and labels local coverage separately. The current operation of 909 and 929 is unconfirmed.
