Overloading is indeed the usual problem, not failure of infrastructure.
It would be wildly unrealistic to expect the infrastructure to support
everyone trying for dial tone at the same time -- we're not paying for
anywhere near that much capacity.  Wireless messaging is the recommended
way to keep in touch during emergencies while minimizing load on the
infrastructure.

Quite a few in my experience.
