1. Am I allowed to do this, as I'm not making an emergency call?
2. Is it permissible/acceptable to say that it is a test call?
3. What else should I say (or not say) to the emergency operator?

Trust us, if you can make an ordinary call, you can make a 999 call.Hmmm. I guess that's quite unequivocal then

Not so much for me as an individual subscriber, but for any organisation installing a PBX there is usually a requirement to demonstrate to the customer that 999 actually works. You never know, there may be an unforeseen glitch in the dialplan that prevents it working.

There is also a case of "what if"! What if an emergency happens for real during this test period? Nobody is going to be able to dial 999 for real.
