I just checked an official website for the Netherlands.
When you are connected to an alarm center across the border, you are asked
if you want to have your call forwarded. This only works for calls made with
a valid sim card.
Foreign alarm centers block alarm call from calls made without as simcard.
In nearly all EU callcenters English, French and German is understood.
Ik now that in the beginning of Voip calls, calling 112 was not possible
or appreciated, als the origin of the call could not be checked.
It is ofcourse very confusing if someone uses a Voipfone with a Dutch local
number while calling from Spain. The 112 call will be received at the Dutch
alarm center.
