It depends on whether the service provider physically disconnected your service or simply turned your service off.

Obviously, if there is no phone line going to your location, you will not be able to make calls, emergency or not. If the service provider just turned your service off in the billing system, you will probably be able to call 911. 9-1-1 can be dialed from any land line that currently has dial tone. If you pick up the handset and there is no dial tone, you will not be able to reach 9-1-1. If there is dial tone, you should be able to reach 9-1-1 even if there is no local or long distance service.

Sort of. All carriers will honor 911 calls, so those go through if you're within the reach of any network.

But if you're out of reach of all networks and not just your own carrier, then you're out of luck.

If your phone looks to be out of range you can usually find a menu somewhere that says "roaming". this will tell the phone to look for any network it can pick up. If it finds something a 911 call will go through.
