Mobile networks seeing significant decrease in voice revenue

Hardphones are not as outdated as you might think.

As for me, I do not have a dedicated office phone anymore, my number is linked to Teams.
I know there is one on my desk, I've poked it with a stick once.
To see if it was alive
 
Understandable. It is completely unreliable. It used to be that whatsapp calling is unreliable, now it's the other way around. Costs asside of course. Loadshedding also doesn't help as during loadshedding mobile signal is dead. WhatsApp calling you can at least connect to an alternative if available.
 
Yeah the only time I use voice on my cellphone is when spam callers phone me. If I have to actually phone someone (prefer text) then a whatsapp call will usually be much more reliable.
 
South Africans saying goodbye to phone calls

Voice service revenue earned by mobile networks in South Africa in 2020 is expected to halve in value by 2028.

This is according to the latest Voice Services and UC&C report from research and advisory firm BMI TechKnowledge (BMIT), which shows that revenue from the service has decreased by more than R14 billion in the last four years.
Only saying goodbye? No kiss?
 
I knew it... Now I'll have to take it off the hook...
That's what you do to make it not ring right??? I've forgotten
Taking it off the hook causes an engaged signal...just plug it out of the wall socket. Then it just rings for the caller, but you hear/see nothing.

I’ve got unlimited calls with Melon. So I phone my wife and mum. Sometimes my wife phones her mum, and then I feel bad for Melon investors.
