Question about WiFi calling/routers for the tech savvy

Hey guys,

So in "Scream 4," Sidney and Kirby have a conversation about calling 911.

Kirby: I tried calling 911 but the land line's dead and someone smashed the router.

Sidney: It's ok, I think I got through on my cell.

Am I wrong in assuming the router Kirby's talking about has something to do with cellular phone service? I thought at first she meant internet but then realized that doesn't make sense in the context. Assuming she's talking about cell service, this is related to WiFi calling which I don't know much about. I've done some reading on it but I still don't really get it. First of all, Kirby has an iPhone which I didn't think had this WiFi calling service to begin with. Second, she receives a call on her iPhone minutes later. How does any of these work together to make a logical explanation for what she said and later being able to receive the call? And wouldn't she be able to use her service provider's signal instead of the WiFi connection regardless?

Sorry if that was circular and made no sense, I just don't get it. And yes, I know a movie, I just want to know if any of this could be summed up in a way that accounts for all the details and still makes sense. If you know anything about WiFi calling (or VMA calling or whatever), feel free to give input.

    • I think it was in episode 2 when Raquel was being messy with/about Peter & Tom Schwartz, warning Allie (I think it’s Allie?? lol) about James, finding out about James/LaLa, crying to LVP about being in love with James still, etc… and I was all like oh $h!t, when did she become the legit main character of this show?!?  Biggest cast member turnaround ever.  And now with Scandoval, she’s legendary lol.  But we’ll see if they try to ice her out.  She & Tom Sandoval can be on an island next year, but that can only work for so long.  But they did blow up the show, for better and perhaps worse if everyone short-sightedly alienates them.  They can’t afford to lose this momentum after the show being on the fritz for years.  Perhaps rebuilding the show around Raquel (and James) would be wise. Re.: Ariana… she can be boring, but in the beginning, I loved how her chill vibe contrasted the witches (and she SO got under their skin!) and Scheana really needed a girlfriend.  They’re an unlikely pair and their friendship has ebbed and flowed over the years, but they’ve remained loyal to each other.  Arianna’s biggest problem is that she’s always thought she’s better than everyone… and that hubris is likely making her feel even more stupid rn.  Scandoval gives her a built-in storyline, and I think she’ll take it and do much more with it than, like, Katie, or even LaLa, is now.  This will likely re-energize everyone.  I also loved that Ariana, during the early TomTom planning stages, REALLY wanted to say that LVP and Ken had no right to be on their high horse and make so many demands of the Toms when they were cashing in on their name and that they (the VPR cast) catapulted the restaurants into the tourist destinations they became.  But I don’t think you could break the fourth wall like that back then like Jax did in that one finale (his power play to LVP obviously was much ado about nothing with the Faith scandal shortly following).  It’s wild how LVP & Ken still thought (think??) the “kids” were lackeys after being the biggest thing on Bravo. And @Cheap21, I totally agree that Raquel working at SUR (real or not) really keeps the original premise alive and makes the ambiance of the restaurant make sense and feel fresh again.  I don’t know if this was a happy accident, but if producers knew ahead of the season to position as her the main character, they’re geniuses.
    • I didnt say you were attacking my Dad. I was giving my perspective as someone who had to put their Dad in a nursing home.    Also i didnt start the thread
    • John's family aside, this is a shitty thing to say about an actor who literally just had a malignant tumor removed. You wouldn't tell them to cart Dee Hall off to Shady Pines if she has a cancer scare.
    • No need to be hostile!!  @John If this hits too close to home then maybe you shouldn't have started this thread. No one was attacking your dad.
    • Dude seriously as someone who had to put their Dad in a nursing home for the last 6 months of his like, this is NOTHING to make a joke about even if you are annoyed with or do not like EB
