SIM just strands for “subscriber identity module”, it’s what the phone uses to request a tower permission to use it’s resources and make calls or use data. Your phone has everything else needed to make calls. Think of a SIM card as an ID, bus pass, concert or movie ticket, it’s used to identify what type of signal you’re using and what carrier with what services you are subscribed to.

By law, all mobile phones are required to let you make emergency calls (911), with or without a SIM card and without using your subscriber services. You could find a random phone with any amount of battery and call 911 without a problem.

There can be a workaround but that would mean using a SIM card that is providing information that somehow gets through a tower, not sure how that would work.
