I am almost 100% positive you do NOT need a phone number to dial 911 from a landline. You just need to have a dial tone. However should you get disconnected, you would have to call back as the 911 dispatch operator has no way of knowing who called or what 'location' it was from.
We have not had a landline phone number in close to 20 years.
