I'll just put this over here with the rest of the drowned.

Dear Sir / Madan,

Fun thing, if you have an android phone and the stock Google phone dialer, try typing that in.
(Note: has to be the Google or AOSP dialer)
Last I tried it, it blinked red and blue also hahaha.
That's it, just a special Easter egg that I would be half surprised if Google even remembers being there.
In my country 911 is for emergencies that require police attention, like armed robberies, etc.
Don't dare call 911 for a medical emergency or they quite plainly tell you to fuck off and call either the public healthcare phone number (which is a short (and toll-free) but completely different number), or your private provider (which is a normal phone number)
Good luck calling the fire department
At least they’re better looking now
@diemartin @Gork More like +7 777 666-7777 (S-O-S).
Useless trivia of mine: in non-smart phones (e.g. early Nokia phones), the numerical sequence you mentioned translates to " ,tyu.xw,wpajd" using their keypad (I would say "T9", but "T9" refers to the prediction algorithm imbued in these phones, which is different from individually pressing a given key number multiple times to yield a given letter e.g. twice the 2 for "B" or thrice the 5 for "L"). It's a funny keypad to type in.
