If we’re thinking about how a 2020s Home Alone would go, I think the easiest and most logical way to give an explanation for why he didn’t call or text them (or the other way around) would be that they’d have taken his phone away. It’s been a while since I last saw it, but didn’t Kevin’s mom make him sleep in the attic for causing the pizza incident? If so, it would be probably make sense that she’d have taken his phone away as well.
No cell phones or internet in a modern home with no VHS, DVD or Blu-Ray. Kids don’t know about broadcast television. Just that his Fortnite/Minecraft/Roblox doesn’t work.
Family would come home to a feral child and a destroyed home after the kid goes batshit without supervision.
Idk man…if it happened with my youngest…it depends on which Nintendo Switch is still in the house and which one came on the plane.
If it’s the “primary switch”, he’d be fine without Internet. We could probably leave for like 2 days and we’d come back and he’d not even realize we were gone and say he was hungry (while surrounded by junk food wrappers).
If it wasn’t…and the internet was out…Lord help us.
In Home Alone, didn’t something take out the phone lines?
I’m sure “something” would happen in a modern version of Home Alone.
Most likely, the parents would be arrested when they got home.

Oh yeah that’s like so obvious.
Kevin! I’m sick of these outbursts! Give me your phone! It’s going in my carry-on and you’ll get it back on the plane!
Home Alone: Final Destination
When good homes go bad.
Cell towers go down along with fiber and coax.

Any storm big enough to knock out cell towers would probably ground all flights.
But if internet would have gone down, how would he have done that thing where he used gunshot sounds from the TV to scare the burglars away?

A tree fell on some lines I think
He literally orders pizza on the phone at one point, then uses that black and white movie to scam the pizza guy.
I’m pretty sure there’s a scene of the utility company working on the junction box.
