[Marcin Xc <gtriderxc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Your message interested me as I tried yesterday to call 911. I just checked /list-modems of my phone. My both cards show 911 but I can't call it: "this is not an emergency number". It looks just the same as You wrote: 08 000 999 110 120 911 122 112 118 119 so something seems to doesn't work as You wrote. Tested on E4.5 with two simcards. Both have the same list and both not allow me to call 911.
Cheers
Marcin

The GSM network/SIM card reports the valid emergency numbers, we'd have
to allow choosing from a list. Unfortunately, for example in my case,
the list is:

> EmergencyNumbers = 08 000 999 110 120 911 122 112 118 119

You can check yours by calling this script:

> $ /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-modems

I actually don't know what most of those numbers are, so I'm not sure
giving the user that choice would be best.

We should, however, allow to mark contacts from the address book to be
marked ICE (In Case of Emergency) and show those in the emergency dialer.
