With the groundwork done in 0.25 and the (upcoming) 0.26 to move power button handling from the compositor () to the shell (phosh) we'd have the bits in place to wire up a long press menu for e.g. emergency calls, screenshots, etc.

This certainly needs styling but it'd be nice to see the first bits in 0.27. I became used to it pretty quickly.

The first bits of emergency call support landed in calls 44 so that Thomas's emergency call work (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p) can hopefully land soon.

@agx Great! Do you know if there are ways to test that, to avoid spamming the real emergency services with test calls?

@eliasr I implemented emergency call support in call's dummy provider so you can test all the software side bits in calls and phosh except for really dialing out.
Implementing a "dummy modem" in ModemManager would allow us to test that path too (any takers?).

For actual end to end I know two ways: either your own gps cell or a place/provider where it's easy to test. I know of this one in Austria notrufnoe.com/notrufrouting/ but links to other locations would be welcome too.

@agx @eliasr Belgium has test numbers which connect you to the real thing but right before you get an operator an automatic message is played.

@dylanvanassche @eliasr do you have a link here? I'm currently collecting links for countries / providers that allow to test emergency call routing.
