missed a phone interview, what should I do?

I was waiting for my phone interview today, and my cell phone had perfect signal, not on vibrate or silent. About 2 minutes after the scheduled time, my phone beeps and tells me there's a new voice mail, and it's my interviewer!! Somehow it didn't pick up when she called a minute before. I tried to call her back, but all I get is a voice message. I wrote an email too, to reschedule, but I still haven't heard anything from her. Do I still have a chance?

Actually this happened to my phone twice before, for no reason, but that was months ago. I called customer service and they said it might be cause my SIM card is too old.

that didn't sound as bad as

that didn't sound as bad as it really is. The worst part is I probably left 3 messages on her phone: 2 that actually said things, and one that was probably just a hang up. Not to mention that additional 5 times that I called her with out leaving a message in the space of a half hour. And I didn't send her just one email, I sent two. The first said that I was trying to reach her. And the second, 2 hours later, said that I got a new SIM card and want to reschedule. Will she be really annoyed and not give me an interview anymore? I was totally unprepared that this would happen. But this woman actually just works in HR, so isn't this kind of her job, so it's not that bad?

No worries

Yeah they know that in a market like this you aren't purposefully snubbing them.
