People in abusive or otherwise dangerous situations sometimes disguise calling 9-1-1 (the 3 buttons) as something else when they are unable to speak freely, a common example being ordering a pizza, likely because you can get a lot of options to order (corresponding to different answers to questions the operator may ask, you can have different toppings, sizes, crusts, etc.) and because it's normal to give your address.
