you could send email but not make a voice call

How will you exactly "connect to internet" during such massive
downtime? I
mean mobile data is dead, and with dead landline I assume cable broken -
then how exactly one can send email? :)

perhaps you should read a bit more carefully.  mobile data was not dead,
mobile voice was.  land voice was dead, land data was not.
