Seems a bit weird to me - I was under the impression that 999 calls work regardless of network, and regardless of having credit etc on your phone. I remember having a couple of mobile phones that would display 'Emergency Calls Only' instead of the network operator's name when the phone was out of range of it's own provider, but was in range of another network i.e. the other network would carry the emergency call.

I knew that 112 existed but thought it was just an alternative number that would work internationally.
