I suggest testing every phone for 000 calls.
How do you do this without actually dialling 000?
That should be reserved for real emergencies.
You are perfectly entitled to do the test, this is legitimate use of 000, call the number and then immediately respond to them that it is a simple test.
I just tested with my Samsung Galaxy S which is running Darky ROM and Gingerbread 2.3.6 without any problem. Â Suggest that those involved with Cyangen Mod have a serious look at their ROM and work out how to fix things so that 000 will work as required.
Andrew and Russell are correct here. In my former life as a telecoms tech we were encouraged by employers and emergency services alike to ensure that 000 calls would work without fail, no matter what the customer's setup. This obviously cannot be done without actually dialling the number *and* connecting to an operator. As Andrew suggests, the correct procedure is to wait until the call has connected and advise the operator that you are performing a test. This allows for the call to be properly logged as a test and not a fault or possible emergency. When placing test calls, please do not simply hang up on operators. Tim
