Abstract: A system and method of accessing an emergency dispatcher in a foreign country is provided. The system and method includes a mobile device and a database. The mobile device includes at least a microprocessor, a display and a global positioning system. The mobile device is connected to a telecommunications network. The database stores data including a plurality of telephone numbers assigned to a plurality of emergency dispatchers located in different locations in the world. A user may initiate a telecommunication to an emergency dispatcher using the mobile device. When the initiation occurs, the microprocessor determines a location of the mobile device using the global positioning system. The microprocessor then retrieves a telephone number from the database. The telephone number is assigned to the emergency dispatcher within the location of the mobile device.
