Yeah, when he woke up he thought his wish for the family to disappear had come true. His mom still would have figured it out first while on the plane and tried to text him.

if she reached him it would ruin his mindset of being on his own, but there could have been an easy way to make him miss the text messages/calls for the same reason she couldn't call him in the movie.

Or he, like me, just forgets to charge his phone, because he's, like, 8 years old, and they took the chargers with them, so now he CAN'T charge it.

If my experience with my step kid at 8 is true, he lost his phone 2 months ago and now has a smartwatch because "if it's attached to him, he can't lose it, right?".

The charger will be under seat cushions within an hour, even though there's no reason to ever move it from the spot in his room.

That's how it starts, and after he picks up a charger at the store, then the tower is down!

Or he broke his phone while exploring Buzz's room.
