So no SIM at all would have no authorisation to access any networks.
But if the SIM is present but has been deactivated the same will apply won't it? Therein is the problem for anyone who's using an old phone with a non-functioning SIM and thinks they'll be able to call 999 but won't. I've just put an old deactivated SIM in a very old Samsung phone and up has come the 'emergency calls only' option. Presumably it won't work.
