Default Is it correct to use 999 in this case...?

writes
At least around 1960, most London police stations were exchange 1113;
the idea is not entirely new.

When I was a boy, I frequently heard on the radio "Would X please
contact the police on Whitehall 1212 where urgent news awaits him.
What has happened to that number now
