I had a final panel interview last Thursday. The company told me that they'd be calling me on the next day (Friday) with their hiring decision. When Friday came around I had to fly home from the interview, so I never got a phone call. However, on Sunday I received a voicemail from them that was from Friday (My phone carrier didn't send me the voicemail until then). The voicemail said that I should call them back as soon as possible.
I texted the hiring manager about when was the best time to call him back and he said Monday. I called on Monday and he told me he wasn't at the office (because of the holiday I'm assuming) and that he'd call me back that afternoon. It's Tuesday (the next day) and still haven't gotten a call back. Should I wait or send another text message about calling?

Do you have any other contact information for others? Might want it to be generally known that you are not ignoring their communications.

No, this person is my only point of contact for this part of the recruitment process. This person knows that I received his voicemail late due to delays from my phone carrier (because he had called me on my flight when my phone wasn't on).

Nothing bad is going to come from you calling. So just make the call and stop worring.

"The voicemail said that I should call them back as soon as possible." - you should have called them back as soon as possible. You should still do that.

I recommend trying to call the hiring manager again. If the hiring manager doesn't pick up, leave a message with a good time to call you back and your call back number.
Usually if the recruiter or hiring manager is going to reject you, they won't be as available to talk to you, because they'll be focusing on other candidates. But given Monday was Veteran's Day in USA, your hiring manager may have forgotten that it was a holiday and accidentally told you to call on Monday. I still recommend continuing to follow up, but definitely continue your job search!
