OFCOM require providers to offer methods in access to emergency services where they offer IP based phone services, but it doesn't have to replicate the full service.

Currently where customer's say that require one, Virgin Media offer a battery backup until that will use a SIM card to allow a wired landline handset to dial 999.

The alarm industry is working on moving their services away from connecting to analogue landlines, and towards SIM cards and other updated digital methods - https://www.bsia.co.uk/blogs/98/bsia...-to-take-acti/
