## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What should someone do if their phone has no SIM card or carrier signal?
  A: Dial 112 directly. 112 is the globally recognized mobile emergency number — as long as there's a signal from any carrier's tower nearby, the call will connect across networks. Once connected, follow the voice prompts: press 0 to transfer to the police (110), or 9 to transfer to the fire department (119).
- Q: What's the difference between dialing 1999 from a landline versus a mobile phone?
  A: Dialing 1999 from a landline connects precisely to the local county/city government, and most areas offer the first few minutes free. Dialing 1999 from a mobile phone may connect to a neighboring county/city instead, depending on which cell tower is used, and normal call charges apply. When outside the home county/city and needing that specific local government, it's best to dial that county/city's own direct landline number (e.g. Taipei City: 02-2720-8889).
- Q: How can a Deaf or speech-impaired person report an emergency to 110 or 119?
  A: The National Police Agency and the National Fire Agency both run dedicated SMS reporting lines: text 0911-511-110 for a police report, or 0911-511-119 for a fire/medical emergency. The 119 reporting app's location-and-tap reporting feature can also be used.
- Q: What's the difference between the 1925, 1980, and 1995 mental-health support lines?
  A: 1925 is the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 24-hour free hotline focused on emotional distress and suicide-crisis intervention. 1980 is the China Youth Corps's "Teacher Chang" line, focused on counseling young people on growth, schoolwork, family, and relationship issues. 1995 is the Lifeline support hotline, offering 24-hour listening support through low periods in life and family or emotional difficulties.
