How do I correct emergency 000 call details and ensure proper connection on Apple Watch?

I fell over last night in the park and my watch I guess instigated an emergency call which I cancelled because I was okay. But when I got home and saw the cancelled call on my Iphone (which I had left at home and I only had my apple watch on when I was walking), I saw the 000 call listed in my Recent calls but the details of the 000 number said it went to White Pages: Forestry Corporation of NSW. I thought, why would THEY want to know that someone in a town in western australia had had a fall?

How can I correct this in my iphone? How can I be sure it is actually ringing 000 as well.

thanks.

First, delete the VPN app and profile.

The short answer is that VPN hides your identity by several means, but one is to change your apparent location to somewhere far from where you actually are.

And, despite claims, using VPN makes you less secure, not more secure.
