Sure does! Here’s why: 1) Voicemails aren’t stored on your phone. They’re actually stored in the carrier’s system. When your phone accesses your voicemail, it’s actually making an outbound call to your voicemail box. Think of it like having an external mailbox that you have to go to in order to pick up your mail. 2) Your phone doesn’t route calls to your voicemail box, your carrier does. Your voicemail box has its own phone number called a Retrieval Number; if you don’t pick up your call or the call can’t connect to your phone, your carrier routes the call… Read more »
Weirdly though, if your phone glitches out and becomes ‘unregistered’, it will not go to voice mail.
I recently experienced this while out of town. First my wife’s phone, then mine. No warning or notification on the phone, but we were unable to make or receive calls until resetting our phones.
Phone died or he’s busy and can’t talk on his phone. Considering Ben is a police officer, you can easily assume the latter is most likely. Hell, are uniformed cops on patrol even allowed to bring their personal phones while on patrol? I imagine it’s more likely they can’t and the event of an emergency, family or friends would have to contact the station to relay the message.

Plot twist: Ben fell asleep. He was tired after spending all night roaming the streets as the Lunar Warden.
It’s a popular-ish Creepypasta based on Majora’s Mask. Googling Ben Drowned will take you right to it. Presumably they saw the opportunity for a reference and took it
Doubtful. He replied he would be there. If his intentions was to ghost him, he wouldn’t have said a thing.

I hate to say this but:
Someone knows who they are.
And they, and their loved ones, are being targeted.

This would always be a constant issue dating someone in emergency services.
Are they stuck in traffic? Did they lose their phone? Or were they caught in a dangerous situation?

This probably happens a lot when dating people in dangerous professions. Even when it’s nothing more than a mundane “got stuck in a meeting” kinda stuff, your imagination is gonna run wild.

Nicole really wouldn’t have anything to do with this, right?

In real life I’d assume his battery just died, but in comics? Oh boy I don’t like it at all
Does it even go to voicemail if you’re trying to dial a dead phone?
Yes

Usually, if the phone is off (or dead battery) it goes to voice mail immediately
If it rings first that means the phone was turned on
Weirdly though, if your phone glitches out and becomes ‘unregistered’, it will not go to voice mail.

Lunar Capesweep Warden was watching from the rooftops as Ben was getting the arrested Troll into a police car.
That, and a cop wouldn’t have the energy to do additional crime-fighting off the clock unless he’s one of those rare people who never need to sleep.
oh..
oh no 🙁
Oh oh. I dont like this.
Ben drowned
Is Ben the uncle to some kid named Peter, by chance…?
Is this one of those “Fell out a basement window in russia” things?

Ok, NOW the title is beginning to sound very concerning
Oh, yeah. She blames Lukas for breaking them up. This makes sense.
Ah ‘ breaking up’ as radio silence.

….right?
Nicole might be an asshole, but attacking a cop that loosely related to Ethan is a bit far, no?
“You took my man from me. I take your man from you”
oh boy, Ben’s in trouble.
Hmmm. Maybe check the fridge
