Answer 1

Having no bars and not being able to call does not necisarily mean that your phone can not reach any base stations. However these might be for other operators or it is already busy with other calls and traffic. When you make an emergency call these checks are waived. You might end up calling through another operator or you might end up disconnecting other peoples calls but your call will go through.
