I have never set this up on mine, but don't you program it yourself, with the number you want it to dial. Probably not that much good though on non LTE models, unless you have your phone with you at the same time.

Does the info on wifi calling , apply in NZ? eg if you don' t have a phone nearby, can it still connect to vodafone over wifi to make a call? The only info I can find about it is there are no plans for it, from 2015

AS per the article, it is the same as the iphone, and will dial the emergency number for the country you are in. Why wouldn't it dial the NZ number, as it will be dialing from inside NZ.?

I didn't realize that. Is that info available anywhere?
I accidently set this off on my watch a couple of months ago, unfortunately it rang a couple of times before I could disconnect. I got a phone call back, how embarrassing.
I told the lady my watch had called her, she seemed to understand like it happens a little bit!

Well at least we know it connects to NZ emergency services. I do think it is too easy to activate especially on the phone, which is why I have it disabled.
Torque: Unless something has changed (highly unlikely), ringing the major international emergency service numbers (000,999, 112, 911 etc.) will still connect through to Sitel/Spark as the initial call answer point. You'll get a recorded message informing you that you have dialled 111 and are being connected.
I had heard that too, and it makes sense considering how many overseas TV programs have 911 and 999 numbers quoted in them.
