Do they have cell phones?

I know that sounds silly, but I'm wondering how they manage to make telephone calls. The reason, I ask, is because I had something strange happen last week.

My mom, whom I live with, has a sleeping problem, she has suspected that she has sleep apnea. Last week she went to a sleep study at a local sleep diagnostics center. During the afternoon on the day she had to go to the sleep study, there was a phone call, she didn't answer the call, but, noticed that all the numbers on the caller id for that call were zeros, it also displayed 'unknown name." She didn't mention it to me until later in the day, and, I didn't really think much of it.
I had to have her at the sleep study at 8:00 pm, I dropped her off and went home. I was supposed to pick her up the following morning a 6:30 am. She had told me not to be late, and, to set the alarm clock so I wouldn't oversleep. Of course, I forgot to set the alarm,

I was awakened by a phone call, as I fumbled around looking for the handset, it rang three more times. I finally found the phone and answered it, (and, while doing so, I glanced at the clock, the time was 6:18 am. I was going to be a few minutes late picking up my mom), there was nobody on the other end, just the dail tone. As I was ending the call, I looked at the caller id, the number was all zeros, 000-000-0000, the call came from "unknown name." The first thing I thought of after that was that the Mid-Wayers had woke me up. But, that wasn't what was the strange thing that happened.

This is;
When I got to the sleep center, and went inside, the technician met me at the office entry door and told me I needed to call an ambulance for my mother, she said, that they had woken my mom up at 5:00 so she could be processed out. The technician said after waking her up, she was unresponsive, and not able to answer questions. They said she seemed confused and didn't know where she was, and who anybody was, or why she was there. It was almost 7:00 and she was still in this state of lucidity. I went into the bedroom she was in and looked at her, I asked her if she knew who I was, she did, and I then asked her if she was okay. She didn't answer me, and that's when I noticed that there was something that just wasn't right with her. I called an ambulance and got her to the ER.
After examing her, they believed she has suffered a minor stroke, probably due to her pace maker.
I told the technician, later that morning, that thier monitoring of my mom, and thier actions after waking her up, had probably saved her life. The Mid-Wayers had woken me up just in time to get to the sleep center so I could get my mom to the hospital before anything else happened. She stayed overnight, she got some much needed sleep, and came home the following day. I told her of the phone call, we both just can't believe it.

Now, for the rest of the story;
Tonite, after getting home from running an errand, I went upstairs to my bedroom, I looked on the caller id of my phone, to see if anyone had called while I was out. There was one call.....no...it wasn't from "unknown name-000-000-0000".....it was from "unknown ame..555-555-5555.





I going to sleep now, I wonder if the phone is going to wake me up in the morning?
Good Night, and God Bless
