Call of Attrition

When a mobile phone call drops out, the ensuing attempts to call each other back on both sides results in endless straight-to-voicemail calls, engaged signals, more dropouts... it's just useless.

Adapted from the term "war of attrition", in which both forces wear each other down over a long period of time, resulting in little success for either.
Nick just dropped out; I'm trying to get ahold of him for the fourth time, but it's just a call of attrition at the moment.

call the fish on the phone

A fishing technique where an old hand crank telephone has it's wires cut and in the water. When the fisherman turns the crank, the wires electrify the water and makes the fish rise to the surface. Use of this technique is highly illegal and extremely dangerous.
My friend: Hey boss the fish ain't biting.
Me: Looks like we're gonna have to call the fish on the phone!
My friend: What is that?
Me: I'm gonna put these cables in the water and turn the crank.

Moments later

My friend: What the f*ck? The fish are rising!
Me: All you have to do now is scoop them up with a net!
