I'm actually surprised at how resilient the cell phone networks are. For something that is so heavily used I would expect it to go down more often.
Or maybe my definition of going down is different than others. There are plenty of bugs all the time (dropped calls, misdialed numbers, etc). I'm not convinced that whenever I dial a number and someone else picks up and says wrong number that I did indeed dial the wrong number.
Ghost in the shell I tell you.

Erlang was created to run digital phone switches, and so was designed exactly for the scenario of "it's fine if certain calls crash, they can always be redialed, but the system itself always has to be available".
