Answer 1

Just because your phone doesn’t have any bars, doesn’t mean another phone on a different carrier wouldn’t have bars either. If there’s absolutely no signal then you’re out of luck, but if there’s any possible signal, your phone just isn’t allowed to access it, emergency calls are allowed to go through those signals you normally wouldn’t be allowed to use.
