I’m with you - I’d pay extra for a phone that doesn’t take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.
Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.

could you not just get a data-only SIM?

Just delete all your phone apps and then you won’t get anymore phone calls. Bing bang boom.

I’m on the phone all day. Believe it or not some people are different from you 🤯

Goes both ways, I’d be happy if more calls would simply fail midway.

Goes both ways
No one else is suggesting that everyone talks on the phone.

We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.

The future of industry is doomed with gen z being militantly unwilling to take a phone call. But I am holding onto some hope because I hear they’re also spearheading the CD music revival, so I just hope they also recognise the retro-coolness of telecommunication.
Otherwise, the art of verbal communication will die. People will meet and connect via text, only to be completely overwhelmed when they meet irl and have to talk to one another face to face. But social life is inconsequential. But at the end of the day, for the purpose of business communication, if you can’t talk on the phone, your just a fucking pussy.

Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.
Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.
