Do you not have a mobile to call 999?

Voip.co.uk works, AFAIK with 999 (untested) as does Vonage (untested).

WRT NTL & VoIP, it isn't a problem, unless your VoIP provider gives you
an 0560 number (BT BB Voice). Most providers allow you to choose a
proper geographic number with an STD of your choice.
