Having recently used Qatar Airways for my recent trip to Phils I was unable to confirm my return flight via telephone, in short, nobody would answer the damned thing! Fortunately I was in Cebu for the final week so was able to go direct to their office but it makes me wonder what might've happened had I still been in Mindanao where there were no offices.

Anybody ever had any experiences of not being able to confirm flights in time?. Maybe it's not really necessary?
