So will probably most other countries in Europe, thereby following international recommendations. Sweden will also prepare to use the 11x number for emergency calls etc. We now use 90000 for emergency call. This also follows international recommendations. This change may take much longer time as it effects houndreds of thousands of subscribers whose numbers start with 1. /Dan Sahlin, email: dan@sics.se
