Will no one be able to make phone calls if the entire mobile phone network fails during extreme thunderstorms or severe weather?

If there were an extreme storm, such as a thunderstorm, where there was no reception but the cell phone tower was undamaged, would all network users be affected?

Because there are still priority contracts for e.g. fire departments, DRK, offices, etc. Would they then also no longer be able to make phone calls or would people with a priority contract still be allowed to make phone calls?

By the way, only a very few people receive these priority contracts. As mentioned above, only certain offices/authorities, the press, the German Red Cross, etc.

For a few hours, the battery sets of the converters and switching centers hold…..and Yes in case of system problems or overload, Prio numbers are longer and better on the ball.

This also makes social sense

Of course it depends.

If it is no longer technically possible (for whatever reason), then logically NIEMAND can make more calls.

If the problem is only the capacity (so that not enough “guide” is there for everyone), then it can actually be prioritized.

Emergency calls are usually preferably enforced.

Because there are still Prio contracts for firefighters, DRK, offices, etc.

Jain.

There is a legal possibility for Authorities and organisations with security tasks However, this does not happen automatically and is not always the case.

This has nothing to do with the SIM card and in principle the number is not limited.
