Wouldn't all the rain like... Short the phones?

That's not how cell phones work. They wouldn't short out just due to rain. You'd have to dump them in the bottom of a pool to kill a cell phone with water. Not if they are in people's pockets protected from the rain. 

However, rain may interfere with the reception of the phone, making it hard to call or receive calls.
