Doesn't 999 work even in areas with no signal? Isn't that what "emergency calls only" means? That's the assumption I have been working to.

If there is no signal on your network, but signal on another network, it can use that. If there is no signal at all you can’t make a call.

Just shout! Superman will hear you! Right? That or the phone. Just settle for 999 , don't know Supermans number.

What if there is no mobile coverage?

Jesus of course. Not like he's got anything else to do. Plus, him or his dad are always watching me anyways so I'm not worried. If that for any reason fails, the sight/stench of the scavengers circling my rotting corpse should draw attention to my location.
