The 06-11 number is temporary. In the future it will be 112 - the
emergency number will be the same in all western Europe. PTT Telecom
doesn't issue any new subscriber numbers starting with 1, and existing
numbers starting with 1 will be phased out. (I don't know why all
numbers starting with 1, rather than 112). When the new number is
available, there will be a transition period where both numbers will
be valid.
