That&amp;#x27;s increasingly rare, but not rare enough to flag or block calls without attestation except within a network you know is pure IP. Even then you get edge cases like forwarded calls that people expect to work even when they don&amp;#x27;t do them right.</text></comment>

Burner phone. Just grabbing someone&amp;#x27;s phone on the street.. Always plenty of ways.&lt;p&gt;Here in Europe you can call 112 even without a SIM card. This is done because during a crash etc the SIM card may get dislodged.</text></comment>
