1-1-1

111 has been the emergency telephone number in New Zealand for decades. It was specifically chosen to comply with the positioning of the 999 emergency number in England. The numbers on the dial phones in NZ and England were reversed, i.e., the nine and one were in the same position on the dial in both countries.
