Horror Stories. The one with cellphones — but not THAT kind.

No, I’m not talking about such stories like “SMS beyond the grave” or ghost photos on cellphones. I’m looking into something more practical – so practical that the thought of it failing can have horrific consequences. We’ve relied too much on the phones to the extent that if the zombie apocalypse happens, we’re on dead air and left in the dark. Has it ever happened that you really had something important to tell your spouse (like before you go home, please buy milk!) but you couldn’t because the network was down? Or you become victim to the case of the unreceived text message: you sent someone a text, message was sent, but the recipient never got it?
Have you ever been in a situation where one SMS mattered, and because the network was faulty, it caused dire consequences (like effing up your schedule) to you or your friends?
If you want to share your story, you can do so in the comments section OR you can send me a private email to jayvee at b5media dot com and leave a comment. I’ll try to publish some of these stories if you wish to share them.
