Can the next person who posts about the damn phones ringing get points?

This explains why they started sending the US Navy to search the West of Malaysia yesterday already. They are definitely being selective in what kind of info they are releasing to the public...

This is also ~400 miles from where they said last contact was, going in the wrong direction and not really towards Kuala Lumpur. To top it off, according to this:
Crash: Malaysia B772 over Gulf of Thailand on Mar 8th 2014, aircraft missing they originally listed the last contact as 02:40L originally (the time of this location near Pulau Perak), and then corrected it to 01:30L.
So either the military radar isn't very dependable (which could be possible, if the planes radar systems were shut off I assume the military could only see the plane, not know which plane it is) , or some fuckheads have known the whole time that the plane was nowhere near where they said it was.
Disclaimer: Slightly goofy theory/question below
edit: and now I'm wondering, if they had a massive communications issue so planes radar systems are off, they can't talk to anyone (and lets assume nav systems are screwy too, they guesstimated the U turn back towards Kuala Lumpur and were off) and they show up on the military radar as a bigass jet not on a designated flight path, what would the military do? I have a hard time thinking they would just ignore that and not send a jet or something.
