I wouldn't try actually ringing someone like that as it takes ages and you have to try and tap 10 pulses per second!
I just tried this and it works

Also reminds me of someone saying "Whose idea was it to make the emergency services 999? It takes forever on a rotary dial phone! By the time it calls the person could be dead!"

Still, better than the IT Crowd's emergency services number... "0118 999 881 999 119 725 ... 3"
