Emergency Call Without SIM: Emergency call system is present in most phones, if there is no SIM card in the phone, it is not possible to call anywhere, but have you ever wondered how a call can be made to 112 from the phone even without a SIM card? It sounds strange, but it is completely true. In India, 112 is an emergency number which connects all three services, police, fire brigade and ambulance. The most important thing is that this number gets dialed without SIM card, without network balance and even when the phone is locked. Let us know what is the reason behind this, how does this system work?
Why does a call go through without a SIM?
Actually, the job of SIM card is only to tell which person this number belongs to. That means, from the same card you get the number through which you talk to your family and friends. But the phone does not need this identification for emergency calls. Mobile phones all over the world are made according to a fixed standard. There is a rule in this that emergency numbers can be dialed even without SIM. As soon as you dial 112, the phone catches the signal of the tower of any mobile company nearby, even if it is not of your own company, that is, if you have Jio SIM in your phone and only Airtel network is available nearby, still the call goes through Airtel tower. This is the reason why this number works even if there is no network or no SIM.

Locked phone and panic button also help
Nowadays, most of the smartphones provide this facility that even if your phone is locked, an “Emergency Call” option still appears on the screen. By tapping on it, 112 can be dialed without opening the phone. Apart from this, in many smartphones, pressing the power button three times rapidly automatically calls 112. Along with this, the Government of India has also created an app named “112 India”, through which a person in trouble can send an SOS message with his location by pressing a button.
If we talk about what happens after the call, as soon as you dial 112, your call goes directly to the Emergency Response Centre. The trained operator sitting there asks you about the problem and informs the police, fire or ambulance as per need. The most interesting thing is that without SIM card you can not only make calls but it also lets you know your location.
