Every cell phone has a way to bypass the lock to call 911 or local equivalent emergency number. It'll even work if the phone line is disabled for some reason, or if the phone doesn't have a SIM.
I’m curious want the statistics are for this usage. Does anyone do this in practice?
I know.
They have an emergency mode for a reason...
