I've had some shocking calls from VOIP - I'm looking at you, Vox - where I could hardly hear a word that was said.
I've been out of the country for the past week and since Truphone doesn't support calls I've been relying on Facetime/Whatsapp/Skype for my calling.

VOIP, just for work.

Yes, everything except calling some local stores, and then receiving calls from some quite old family members (no issue accepting whatsapp or telegram call, just making it they constantly forget to do via app, but we're talking about 90+, just using a smartphone is already great).
Technically all my calls are VoIP as VoLTE.
Also generally most of the people I call are in places where Wi-Fi is better than cell signal.

Home and office phone lines are both VoIP, mobile calls usually VoLTE or VoWiFi.

They are useless..problems all the time with them and it for business use
A lot of what you think is analogue calls are actually VOIP calls anyway - the big telecoms just dont tell you that. But they will charge you as if its analogue still. The switching just doesnt happen on your premises.

The article is a bit over the top to me. Good to hear there's efforts to keep things high quality, but we're just talking about audio... hardly something requiring 5G, surely, so just a product push?
Even dial-up accessed VOIP to Australia in the 90's was good enough for us on Skype..

No, I believe he did not.
The option "Yes, for the majority of my calls" would indicate Voip calls, using a VOIP phone.
Joining a group chat on Discord is not the same as making a VOIP call.
On an open system there's always those who'll shortcut for profit. Nothing justifies calling for massive 5G to resolve end-users' audio issues themselves, that's just insane.
