Slip into the shoes of a 911 dispatcher and save your cities population by sending out the relevant emergency vehicles for the mission you receive. Your first stations will come with staffing and one (1) unit. If you improve your building, you can buy more vehicles and recruit more staff. Having more vehicles will advance your missions to bigger and better ones. Having more buildings will give you more possible missions to receive. Successful missions earn you money and experience points. This allows you to invest in new equipment (buildings, cars, trucks, etc …) and grow your player level. Good luck!!!

Can you please fix this game? ### 1/5 — Slow and not working *2025-09-17, version 2.56* It’s very slow to load and the building won’t build where you tap and hold. The building builds in another area completely ### 1/5 — Vary buggy *2025-08-15* - ### 2/5 — Bugs *2025-08-06* Fix the bug issues!!!! ### 2/5 — Decent game, but updates messed up *2025-07-25* I’ve played this game for several years, and when I did play it, it was pretty fun coming from a current FF/Medic and previous dispatcher. However, the most recent have caused some bugs within the games, all the units run north after calls, way out of territory until they glitch back to their stations, then units response speeds seem to be accelerated to like 300%, which is just completely not real. I’ve spent money on the game, but things like this, when they weren’t an issue before, seem to push me away, especially when there’s no way to report issues from either within the app or from the App Store. ### 4/5 — Won’t let me start alliance missions *2025-04-07* I go to start an alliance mission and press a mission to start and it won’t start. It does nothing :/ please fix it’s been doing this for months ### 2/5 — Game not as good as before *2025-02-09, version 2.56* Used to love this game but not too sure what happened a few months ago. There was an update and i lost all my police stations and police vehicles. Decided to start from fresh in a new city and can’t put anything down where i want to. Buildings spawn miles and miles away from where i actually selected to put them down. Wish the developers would keep working on this game since its a good game ### 4/5 — Won’t let me start alliance missions *2025-02-01* I go to start an alliance mission and press a mission to start and it won’t start. ### 1/5 — Update leaves game unplayable *2024-11-26* Got rid of the game a while ago and just got it back now, map doesn’t load and roads does not exist. Completely unplayable. ## Frequently asked questions about Dial ### What is Dial-911 Simulator? Dial-911 Simulator is a game where you step into the role of a 911 dispatcher.
