My cell phone got disconnected. Like I am grounded. IT;s been suspended. But uh. I was wondering?

Question

could I call 911 without service? I'm just like wondering. Like one day if there's a fire and thats the only phone I have. so?!?

Answer 1

Yes, your cell phone will still work for dialing 911.  Land lines work that way as well-even if there is no service, you can make emergency calls.

I have also heard-though I am not sure if it is true-that a dead cell phone can often call 911.  I thought that was interesting.  (Dead as in the battery not being charged).
