Comment on Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?

Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.

Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.

Does 5G handle regular voice calls, or are you talking about calling over a data line with an app?

  I would assume everything including GSM calls is IP/packet based nowadays, unless your phone has switched to 1G

    Isn’t 1G analog? All voice calls are transmitted digitally and have been since the early 90s.

    You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G
