The Dnevnik reports an incident involving a person making an emergency calling (113) request. Instead of connecting with police, the individual heard the voice of the regional emergency communication center’s operator, utilizing the 112 system. Police and significant Slovenian mobile network providers have verified this is not a singular occurrence.
The core issue stems from the Android operating system’s interaction with Telekom Slovenije SIM cards. These cards incorrectly initiate connections to 112 instead of the intended 113 connection. This problem has been brought to Google’s attention, though a fix remains pending.
A1, speaking to Dnevnik, stated the problem is fundamentally linked to how individual devices process emergency calls. Telekom Slovenije responded to these disruption instances, confirming they have addressed the situation. The root cause appears to be a technical malfunction related to device handling of emergency calls, specifically concerning the Android operating system and its connection to Telekom Slovenije SIM cards, resulting in unintended calls to the 112 system rather than the intended 113 connection.
This issue has been reported to Google, but a resolution is still awaited.
