Well, the "no network" is very relative, some antenas refuse to provide acess if you are from other companies, fucking with your reception. Here in spain 98% of the land is covered by signal, but depending of the company you will get no reception. But this limit dissapears when you call an emergency, the antena is forced to take your call. Think that a cellphone is a radio, it will broadcast the call to any antenna that would be willing to get the call.
So the short answer is MAYBE, depending if the lack of network is because your company of it's real.

Calling the emergency number for a different country still calls the emergency services in your own country.
Example: it's usual to call 999 in the UK but calling 911 will redirect to the 999 call centre rather than calling somewhere in the USA.
As for OP's question, phones in the UK can call emergency numbers on any network, not just the one the SIM it's tied to. But if you're down a cave for example and have no connection to any network then no you can't call.
