You should be getting "No Service" not "Emergency Service Only." The 
phone is connecting to a tower that you are not allowed to roam onto but 
they have to allow emergency service. In most cases it's T-Mobile being 
unable to roam onto AT&T, or a Sprint phone on one of Sprint's prepaid 
services or on a Sprint MVNO.
