Something funny with the phone systems these days?

Had to find a plumber, but didn't receive a call-back even from those with secretaries I was on good terms with. One cancelled and claimed they'd left a message earlier that week. The plumber said he'd had phone problems and lost business as well.

A few weeks ago I took someone to the hospital and lost signal after leaving. I figured the hospital had a blocker but there was still no signal after getting home. Did a power-cycle (battery out and held power) and it took a couple minutes to connect to the towers after startup. First time that happened and of course was the worst timing. I was waiting for the pickup call.

Today I called someone over half a dozen times on two different phones. Only twice did it ring, but when he answered he couldn't hear anything. Another person had the same experience trying to reach him.
