[Bug 1355859] Re: can't dial emergency call number when sim is pin protected and not unlocked

 

Hi Tony,

This is still reproducable on all devices. I just open the dialer app
with locked SIM cards, dial 112 (Europe's emergency call number). The
result is that it doesn't even try to do the emergency call, but just
opens a dialog saying "No network".

When the phone is locked, there is an "emergency call" button. But
pressing this one just opens the dialer app the same way (I believe) so
in theory there shouldn't be any difference there. In any case, not
using that button but manually launching the dialer app should also
allow to to do emergency calls.

And yes, I did that just by dialing 112 and - if it would work - hang up
immediately before the call is established. I know this is risky in case
I'm too late with hanging up but I tried it because I expected it not to
work after getting that "No network" dialog trying to dial a normal
number. Is there any way to repro/verify a fix making sure the modem
doesn't actually call the number but still make the dialer app believe
everything would be normal?
