Cricket - call the phone company, maybe. I had it happen to me a few years ago, a couple days after the power went out. In that case, the tower didn’t switch back to AC power and the battery on the tower went dead.

It also regularly happens to me at Vons when the nearby tower is overloaded.

Moco,
Autozone should have plugs you can just screw in. If they don’t message me and I’ll give you some. I don’t believe there are any shops open on Sunday.
