The sim card only holds informations that the phone uses to authonticate to the network, the network checks if the user is registred with them and if he has credit then, allows him to make the call or not. For an emergency call, the network directly redirects the call to an emergency desk without checking your identity.

A phone will only be able to place outgoing emergency calls without a SIM card. A SIM card is used to authorize a phone to a wireless network, and also contains some account information used for billing purposes. In order to obtain a SIM card, one must first subscribe to a carrier. The wireless carrier will then program the phone to operate on one account, and allow any outgoing calls to be made.
