Unable to dial emergency number 100 from airtel in delhi

It is not my story, it’s my friend’s story who was in trouble and was trying to call Delhi police on 100. It was his bad luck that call was not getting connected and he was getting an error “incorrect number”. He was frustrated and tried to call child helpline, senior citizen helpline; this time call was connected but the other side people told hip to contact police on “100”.
I don’t know why police has given this emergency number; I don’t know till now how many people were success in calling this number.
Actually my friend was using Airtel number, after trying many times he thought to add STD code before 100. He searched STD code of Delhi from his GPRS enabled phone (thank god, his phone was supporting GPRS services) and dialed STD code before “100” and finally police picked up his call and came for the help.
Here I just want to ask,
  1. Why Delhi police have not mentioned about STD code in case of failure to connect to “100” number?
  2.  Is this happening only with airtel or with other service providers?
Friends, you can comment if you had any good or bad experience with this emergency number
Thanks
