Before you need them

  • 112 works from a mobile with no credit, which is the number to remember if the SIM has run out.
  • Call your insurer as soon as you are referred to a hospital, because a private facility will want to know who is paying before it starts.
  • Save your embassy's number offline. A number in a cloud contacts list is not a saved number when there is no data.
