What do you think would happen if everybody who has a cellphone used them all at once...? A satellite software crash...a mix in signals where you're getting on someone else's convo...what..?

The same thing that already happens when there’s a huge crowd of people in one spot - they overwhelm the cell towers and you can’t load anything on your phone. Not all that exciting.

And actual phone traffic is pretty low bandwidth, so if everyone called someone else at the same time, the dialing computers would be the weak link. Trying to establish all those connections at the same time.
