Embodiments of the invention discloses an emergency call method and a user terminal. The method includes: obtaining a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) and an equivalent HPLMN (EHPLMN) from a SIM card of a user terminal; receiving an emergency call operation of a user; receiving, in response to the emergency call operation, a public land mobile network (PLMN) list broadcast by an access network device, which is in a multi-operator core network (MOCN), and the PLMN list includes a plurality of PLMNs that share the access network device; when the PLMN list includes the HPLMN or the EHPLMN, determining that the HPLMN or the EHPLMN is an optimal PLMN; and making an emergency call through a core network of the optimal PLMN. Thus, an emergency call center can obtain a phone number of the user terminal.
