Everyone knows 911 is for emergencies to call the police or fire dept.
I just learned that 811 is for calling Diggers Hotline.
Are there anymore X11 numbers used all around the country?
If so, please add them below.
In some areas, 7-11 is for late-night munchies.

I used to know someone who accidentally dialed 111 and got an error message. She had confused the phone with the TV remote, and was trying to get channel 11.
The "official" list can be found here:
Not all are used everywhere.

We don't have that around here in PA. Tin cans & strings don't support that. However you can text 9-1-1. For non-emergences you can contact me at the station by using the PD phone number.
The PA turnpike is *11 for all. Turnpike dispatchers then contact PSAPs for emergencies. They are removing the call boxes.
