Is it possible to call 911 from a phone that doesn't have an incoming phone number assigned?

Yes, because you can pull the SIM card out of a cellphone and dial 911.

    As far as I know, you can even call 911 with a SIM card on but no service to your network. It will just use another network.

Yes, because cell phones can do it even without a SIM card
