Phones have evolved to the point where we no longer have to make phone calls, we can instead use them to send tiny letters to each other. Nobody I know, and maybe this is self-selection, likes making phone calls. Nobody I know likes receiving phone calls. In fact, at home I never even though about hooking up a phone when I moved 5 years ago. At work, when we moved offices 3 years ago, we never even hooked up the PBX. The number one voice use I have for my cell phone is the kids' school: 3-4 times a week, one of their computers calls and usually leaves me a voicemail, which Google (badly, but good enough) translates to text. In short: They are sending me voice SMSes. :-) I loved Asterisk 20 years ago. It was insanely cool stuff. But I mostly live in a different world now.
