A fairer characterization might be that it’s a more marginal but no less essential use.
We don’t rely on voice calls to communicate at a distance as much as we used to because there are other mediums the modern smartphone can access for that application, but a lot of us still do rely on voice calls on our smartphones for communications of some kind whether it’s WebEx meetings, Discord calls or straight up POTS emulation.
- ghaff 3y agoIf I didn't have a cellphone for voice, I'd still have a landline (which would actually be better, just not worth the added cost) in which case, other than when traveling which I do less of these days, I'd basically never use my cell phone for a voice call. I do video calls from my computer and never use Discord. Short exchanges of information/reminders are almost always texts. So I'm pretty much at the point where voice conversations on my cell are not an essential use especially if I'm not on an extended trip.
