When Ruby first saw the goons she tried to call but she couldn't. I was quite surprised that Ruby's scroll (which is presumably hooked into Remnant's miltiary communications network as she's a trainee Huntress) couldn't get any service. I skirt around that by presuming that the White Fang base had a comms jammer of some kind.

I see two possibilities:

A) given that while Ruby's scroll marked low signal Jaune's scroll did receive the call and he heard noise at the other end, it might not be about not there being coverage but abiut the WF having seg up some form of equipment to cause interference in mobile signal in the area.

B it is an abandoned zone that it is likely not scouted often, so not making maintenance on whatever antenance that gave reception to mobile phones in that area doesn't sound so incredible. The WF's base comunications could have been relaying on a cable network built for themselves.
