Nobody uses the phone system anymore. It's all app based voip calls now.

A 1800 number might be good for a business, maybe a bail bondsman

Most phone plans are unlimited calling nowadays, at least where I live. I use phone calling all the time. Especially WiFi calling, the sound is great.

Wifi calling is voip, but regardless I'm glad the phone works for you.

Point I was trying to make it that I don't believe this is true:

Nobody uses the phone system anymore.

Whenever I don't have WiFi, we call each other too. Nobody's counting minutes. Can talk for hours if we like. Just like with app calling. Why go through/install an app if the phone is right there. Especially if I can control it with my voice these days like "call mom". ๐Ÿ‘Œ
