The specs do have that, but I used to work at a major mobile telco which didn't implement that part of the spec. The argument was that people would use emergency calls to test phones without a SIM. That may well have changed, but you can't assume that the spec will always be implemented in the network.

Interesting, in the US this is a regulatory requirement and the decision is not up to the telco.
