You Didn't Have Me at "Hello"

My wife attended one of those outdoor arts and crafts festivals. Afterwards, she telephoned home. Actual conversation:

Mike: Hello.
Donna: [Unintelligible]
Mike: Hello.
[More static intermingled with static]
Donna: Hello? Hello?
Mike: Hello.
Donna: Can you hear me?
Mike: Can your hear me?
Donna: Hello? Are you there?
Mike: I'm here! Can you hear me?
Donna: Hello? Hello?
Mike: Hang up. I'll call you back.

Click. Dial. Ring.

Donna: Hello.
Mike: What did you do, buy a cellphone carved out of a gourd?
