Hello,

I received a call from a number starting with +999. In my research, I find this kind of response: ""+999 Reserved for potential future use within the telecommunications concept for emergency operations in case of disaster"
Can anyone tell me more about this? Thank you.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 45.0.2454.85

It's simply an indicator that we use in case of emergency, so it is only available for a certain period of time. For example, it is very likely (since this +999 concerns Asia and the Middle East) that it was used for emergency calls during the tsunami of 2009.
