No SIM & 999.

Saw an outtake last night when the actor who plays Andy Sugden in Emmerdale had to dial 999 as part of a scene.

He was shocked when it actually connected him to the emergency services!

After immediately disconnecting he protested that it wasn't his fault as nobody had told him that a SIM card was in the phone.

This got me wondering if mobile phones work with the 999 number regardless of there being a SIM present or not.

I don't want to try it for obvious reasons, but it might be useful one day to know the answer to this.
