That may or may not work with cellular - dialing zero on a cellphone gets you your cell provider's operator - generally not a local operator. That's exactly why some cell companies build the press-and-hold feature into their phones - By pressing and holding whatever number they have designated you're routed to the local emergency switchboard.
