But then you can't send that unanticipated text to younger daughter
hoping she wasn't in Boston.

However, lack of response, due to infrastructure overload, might
well have been even more worrying.

It wasn't overloaded, they switched it off - so no more bombs could be
triggered.

Although I don't think we know the full story because if there's been no
mobile coverage in Boston [about the size on Birmingham, UK] for the
best part of a week, the collateral [commercial] damage would be
enormous. And seems to be unreported.
