Ever lived in a 3rd world country? When you were there, assuming you weren't in a tourist hotel, did you find an internet connection fast enough to webcam anyone? I've had dial-up faster than the connections on many islands. I don't know how to 'call your kids over the net'.
If the internet works and I can get a message out, then perhaps they will get it before the end. That's a hell of a lot better than a continual busy signal or total silence, don't you think?
Anyway, I'm sure they have their own lives to put in order, and loved ones they'd like to spend their last hours with, so I'm sure the conversation, if I got through on the phone, would not be all that long.
What if the world exploded tomorrow?

Your connection to IIN seems pretty solid :P
Anyway, this is an entirely hypothetical scenario that we've probably spent too longer considering so I'll leave you be.
