world-wide, so that if you're an American in Europe, you can still call 911 and have that work as expected.Given that there are UK telephone numbers starting 911, this seems rather unlikely.
Given that we're talking about cell phones, it seems completely likely. Cell phones present the dialed number as a block, so there's no ambiguity between 911 and 911XXXXX. I don't know whether UK cell carriers map 911 to 112, but there's no technical reason they can't do so. I agree that for VoIP using normal phones through adapters, 911 in the UK won't work.
