It was voice too

Cellular network communication is the only option for a lot of people, including people who may have needed to call the emergency services yesterday, but could not.

And if the ESN was live already, that would include the emergency services themselves.

It's likely that several people were physically harmed by the voice outage. Any deaths may still be undiscovered.
