This is true. It's how you are still able to call emergency services even if you don't have a SIM or pay for cellular telephone servicd

I was wondering about that but thought maybe not. These phones work internationally. Are all the cellular networks so compatible that this communication works without a SIM providing the details of the frequencies, passcodes, or whatever?
