Also, someone mentioned that the FCC doesn't in fact mandate that PSTN
terminals should be able to make emergency calls even if formally disconnected
and asked about cellular.
The opposite is true about GSM and its descendants; whether or not you're a
valid roamer for the network you're talking to, have a prepaid balance, have
paid your bill, you must be able to make emergency calls. Similarly, even if
no SIM card is present, the device should register with the network as
"limited service" - i.e. emergency only.
