Gotta love the non testable features.

"Can we place a test call?"
"Why would you want to do THAT?"

You can place test calls, but emergency calls are magically handled differently and the only way to trigger that is to make an emergency call.

Carriers can test phones in their labs, but they have no way to know what modem firmware end users are running. The same hardware sold in different places can have different software images loaded.
