Is it true that an iPhone without cellular service and is out of WiFi range can still be used to dial 911?
The phone is an older model that no longer has cellular service. Basically, it is used only as a camera, and there are also apps that don’t need cellular or WiFi, so it is still useful. I heard that such a phone can still be used to dial 911 in an emergency. Is this true?
