It doesn't sound silly - they'd be a good storage device for manuals and books and pictures you took while off reconning an area -- but as to whether they would work -- it depends on where they were when the nearest bomb went off. I'd say that military and possibly police phones might be working. Those still in their shipping containers and antistatic bags might survive intact. Of course, phone calls are out of the question for at least 10 years or so, and these would be on local networks at the most for quite a while. And do take notice of the italics up there.
