Meteor showers can make your phone ring.

Though only with human intervention.

Aren't there ham radio buffs who try bouncing radio waves off meteor trails?

Actually, Ham operators don't "bounce" waves off meteor trails. When a meteor vaporizes in the atmposphere, it produces a burst of radio noise. This noise can be easily detected with a standard receiver.

I did this last year during the Leonids and was surprised how easy it was. I used a 2 meter receiver with a magnetic mount car antenna. I was hearing about 10 bursts per minute at a frequency of about 144 Mhz (can't remember the frequency exactly...my records are at home). I even recorded the bursts on a standard cassette tape and played them for my students the next day. They all gave me a look that said, "Oh my God! He is recording STATIC!"

The reading I did indicated that you can even detect the burst in the FM radio band if you find a quiet station. I tried this, but living between Chicago and Milwaukee, fat chance of finding a station quiet enough.

Yes, they do.

Actually, a meteor doesn't produce radio noise that amateurs are interested in.
It creates an ionised trail which is perfect for bouncing radio waves off. Such trails are usable for a few minutes.

Amateurs use distant radio stations as beacons for this. If they hear it for a minute or two before it fades, it's bouncing from a meteor trail.
