Does dialing *911 dial emergency services?

[iMore Question]

I'm just curious to know if dialing 911 with an asterisk before it actually dials emergency responders?

I don't know the answer to that, but why in the world would you even do that?

For a half second I thought about testing it out but then I remembered what would happen if it actually worked.

No it does not.
