What this message means, if I remember the US system correctly, is the phone is unable to receive any signal from your carrier's tower, so it is accessing any available tower. By law, all carrier's towers must transmit emergency calls for free. Therefore, you are being told that you can make an emergency call to 911 if necessary. Otherwise, you do not have cellular coverage at this time.
