Mobiles without SIM cards can still make calls to the emergency services as the Law states that Telephone networks must allow calls from 'Unknown Devices' such as sim less phones …

I also didn't know that if you're a woman driver, you are actually within your right to carry on driving & only stop at a safe public place if the polic are trying to flag you down. They can't prosecute you for not stopping instantly, presumably if you can prove you felt threatened ?.

I don't believe this is the case - regardless of if you are a man or a woman you are supposed to stop in a safe place. The police advice is to stop, keep your doors locked and only open your window a bit. Then ask the officer for ID etc etc.

Here is the American version of your story:

Subject: Fw: Good advice and the importance of *677
I knew about the red light on cars, but not the *677.

It was about 1 PM in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend. An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on. Lauren's parents have 4 children (high school and college age) and have always told them never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather wait until they get a gas station, etc. Lauren had actually listened to her parents advice, and promptly called *677 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away.

She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her.

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her. One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind. They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground. The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes. I never knew about the *677 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car. Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a "safe" place. You obviously need to make some signals that you acknowledge them (i.e. put on your hazard lights) or call *677 like Lauren did.

Too bad the cell phone companies don't generally give you this little bit of wonderful information.

*Speaking to a service representative at **Bell** Mobility confirmed that *677 was a direct link to OPP Dispatch.

So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about *677.

Send this to every woman you know, it may save a life 

take your sim out of your phone adam and you'll see the 'emergency calls only' bit come up..

Take your sim out of your phone , switch your phone back on without sim card , call the emergency services from your phone when they answer hang up , still leave your phone on without sim card wait and see how long it is before they call you back via your IME number when phone and sim was registered

Your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Card is ONLY there to log you on to your network - it doesnt have anything to do with actually making a call.
