But that was just 1 network, no? You could still carry out emergency phone calls over other cell networks. Or does that not work in U.S.?
Emergency calls in both Europe and the US operate on the same cellular network. And pretty much all of the world that has cell service. Emergency numbers like 112 or 911 just get prioritization in the event of overloading/poor signal/etc.
In Europe, though, AML would send a GPS signal out which would alert emergency services of your failed attempt to call and your location. Not exactly a phone network, but I guess a “separate network” if we’re being technical.
