I just haven't heard of any of that here in the U.S.


Every carrier is required by law in the US to pass 911 calls. I have personally had it work for me when my phone had no signal, but I was in another carrier's coverage zone. Remember that your phone has to have the same kind of radio (e.g. GSM) that the carrier uses on their towers.
