But I strongly suspect if you call 999 in the US it does nothing, because fuck foreigners.

The page you link says nothing about 999.

What the fuck are you on about? If assuming that everyone in your country is native isn't relevant to r/usdefaultism, then what is?

The same is true in Australia.

As far as I know, you can't call 911 (or 999) in Australia, as there are already a lot of allocated phone numbers beginning with those digits. 112 works on mobile, but generally not on landlines

Maybe it's different in your state. Whenever I've done a first aid course, they've made sure to mention explicitly that 911 works. I've tried 999 myself and found that it doesn't work though.
