Sometimes (I guess due to a poor signal) mobile phones say '999 calls only'.

I've always wondered how this could be achieved in an emergency as if it can't pick up enough signal to make a normal phone call, how is it able to connect to 999?
Because it'll use someone else's network. (So an O2 Sim can use an EE signal for 999/112 for example).

If there's no signal available at of course you wont be able to phone the emergency services.
