Quite simply-yes it does.
Our emergency number's are 999 or 112.
Mobile phones are clever in their design and have hidden features to benefit users.
For example: A panicked American tourist would probably dial 911 in an emergency situation and the GSM operators know this, what happens is the phone knows this is a emergency number being called and will automatically re-route it to the 999/112 switchboard.
There is also an agreement between networks to allow any rival networks signal onto theirs in an emergency situation.
If you have a Vodafone handset and your screen shows "no network coverage" if you dialled 999 you will jump onto T-Mobile for example.
You should also be able to call for help when you have no credit or if the sim card is missing and also when the keypad is locked.

Before 911, the phone numbers for police, fire and EMS dispatchers were all individualized, and varied from region to region.
