Communications
Several mobile network operators, with Elisa, DNA and Telia being the largest. Generally good coverage of mobile phone and internet along the main road network, but some connectivity issues can take place locally.
Contact information of emergency services
112 is the only emergency number for urgent assistance from paramedics, police, rescue, or social services. Emergency calls are answered by ERC operators with the words “Hätäkeskus - Nödcentralen”.
There is also a free mobile phone application 112 Suomi that will relay the location information automatically to the emergency response center if the emergency call is made through the application. The application will also give the location of the nearest defibrillator and transmit regional public safety alerts.
