Quick post today, readers may remember that in the last post that the 112 test was today, so i hope you all set your alarms for this post!

imsd emergency calling works! end to end tested on the live network!

I called 112 in the designated time slot and had full two way voice with the operator, plus NAW data, sadly the AML did not work.

The Netherlands doesn't use the text based AML my code had, ive send an email thanking them for the test and requesting information on the data based AML aswell as a possibility for a future second test when that works.

I do have to say that i can only say this works for the netherlands, i can tell the emergency path works in the modem and it took the genuine correct path, i can't guarantee it. I'm not sure what the risk is that it works here but not elsewhere but i think its right to state this.

Before doing the first test i was so nervous with my phone hovering the call button but im glad it all worked out in the end, the operators were really kind too.

On the slight chance that any 112 operators happen to read this, Thank you very much!

Until 10 years ago it was totally possible. The emergency operator could see your IMEI, that you had no SIM, and which antenna was giving you coverage, but the network wouldn't deny you the call. It was possible to get a legit 112 call that looked like it had no SIM because the phone had suffered damages during whichever accident prompted the call.

Actually the 112 service used to brag about being able to get your call in the most miserable scenarios.
