So people can give you a call even if you're not home? I mean, this has been the main selling point of mobile phones for over 30 years, and especially before smartphones became a thing. If you don't take your phone with you, you might as well wire in a landline and just use that. | ||

You making a lot of calls in 2026? Messaging services seem to be more popular with people I know. I have a phone so I have options if I need to be reachable or reach someone immediately while out (rare), or for travel. And because some services, mostly banks, refuse to accept VOIP numbers but require a verified phone number. | ||

It was the selling point of mobile phones before smartphones became a thing. It obviously hasn't been the main selling point of mobile phones since then. | ||
