The important thing is you have some way to communicate, not what method is used for the communication. If the PSTN fails, use the Internet. If the Internet fails use PSTN. If both fail use radio, telegraph, pony express or fall back to what the Roman Empire used, runners. Civilization has existed far longer than the telephone.
