I vaguely recall that there was a time when cellphone companies were required to provide free 911 access. People that only wanted a phone for emergencies were advised to get one and not pay for service because it could still dial 911.
- actionfromafar 1y agoI think that still is the case in Europe?
- floren 1y agoIt's still the case in the US, pop your SIM out and note it'll still say "Emergency calls only" on your lock screen.
- spicybright 1y agoIt's still the case now for sure on cell networks that are still active that your phone can reach. At least in the US.
