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.

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!
