This varies quite a bit between countries. In some, making emergency calls without a SIM card is not possible.

This includes the UK, where in addition it has only fairly recently (last October) been made possible for the phone to roam to a different network to make an emergency call.

Germany recently made it necessary to have a SIM card in the phone, to reduce prank calls

It is said that in some other countries, credit is needed on a valid SIM, though the call is free.
