    Where [are] the regulations mandating cellphones (whenever technologically capable) be allowed to make "911" calls, whether or not the cell phone
    is registered, has an account with the local cellco or, for that
    matter, even has a SIM in the phone?

    The reason I'm asking is, well, first, I can't find the actual text,
    and second, I tried making calls to "988" (the suicide prevention
    number) without SIMs, etc. to test it out and they were blocked, so
    I'd like to double check the language before following up.

    Thanks to everyone who's about to point out this is right there in
    front of my eyes - and making me slap my forehead.
